Cisco's LEAP Authentication Cracked
mtrisk writes "Just a day after Cisco released a security warning about its WLSE access point management tool, a tool to crack wi-fi networks using LEAP authentication has been released, reports Wi-Fi Networking News. The tool, called Asleap and developed by Beyond-Security, actively de-authenticates users, sniffs the network when the user re-auntheticates, and performs an offline dictionary attack upon the password."

Bin it now! Not because it's insecure, bin it cos it's crap.
BTW, if you're running standard WEP it's pretty easy to get into your network anyway.

This is Slashdot buddy. Nobody here would ever fork out the dough to by a real Cisco product anyway so this will make no difference to any Slashdotter except for the very few that might like to utilize the exploit.
The closest any Slashdotter will come to buying a Cisco product is LinkSys. Now, even though Cisco now owns LinkSys, I don't think that anyone would go so far as to call a LinkSys router a Cisco product and LinkSys routers do not support LEAP anyway.
The point I was making was that slashweenies seem to think 'blame Microsoft' is the appropriate response in every situation. Cisco screws up so we get 'Blame Microsoft' and 'Well Microsoft would have done worse'.
I agree with you completely. The SlashIdiots who tried to claim "Cisco is no Microsoft" is a typically retarded piece of shit who will forevecr be a slave to his cubicle. When pointed out how the SlashIdiot failed to read the article and notice that Cisco knew about this problem for 8 months, he still tried to talk his way out of his own ignorance.
If I meet anyone in my day to day life who even remotely resembles a SlashIdiot, I will probably shoot him in the face.
Seriously, the last thing we need is slow hardware.
The trick to beat hackers and crackers is put out so much variety they have no idea what the hell to do. Seriously, if 99% of people didnt run the same hardware and software for everything hackers would cause very minimal damage.
You are a:
a) Troll
b) Fucking Idiot
Pick any two.
