WPA Can also be Cracked!!

May

2007

We’ll at least it sounds more secure than WEP, but WPA can also be cracked as I learned in this article: http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/10283/. I think the best advise that I’ve heard over and over is this:

“Use good application layer security. Use SSH, SSH tunnelling, SSL, HTTPS, and anything else to make sure your passwords and other sensitive data never travel in the clear on any part of the network.”

I’ll be trying to figure out how to use secure email protocols. I’ve already tried to switch to using SCP instead of Dreamweaver or Filezilla to transfer files (and using Secure FTP when in Dreamweaver). So it’s pretty much just a change in how I do things. And just for my memory more than anything – here is a link to securing Firefox and IM. I’ll be looking into doing that.
