Title: Wifi WPA2 Hakced Post by: luckton on October 16, 2017, 07:41:16 AM https://it.slashdot.org/story/17/10/16/149251/wpa2-security-flaw-puts-almost-every-wi-fi-device-at-risk-of-hijack-eavesdropping
The article goes into details, but for the layman, check your router manufacturer's website in the coming days/weeks for firmware updates out the wazoo. This flaw affects basically every wifi router made over the last decade and then some.

Seriously, if you are mildly technically inclined they are so much better than the typical consumer brand stuff and are cheaper. They even are relatively user friendly now.

Probably going to have to buy a new router vs waiting for tp-link to patch the C9...Title: Re: Wifi WPA2 Hakced Post by: Trippy on October 16, 2017, 03:19:46 PM This is more about clients than access points.
Title: Re: Wifi WPA2 Hakced Post by: Chimpy on October 16, 2017, 04:47:25 PM This is more about clients than access points. True, but there is an AP component that can be mitigated. The fact that the worst effected handshake protocol outlined in the paper is actually the basis for the entire handshake scheme for WiGig is what got me. |
