The Real Story On WPA's Flaw
Glenn Fleishman writes "The reports earlier today on WPA's TKIP key type being cracked were incorrect. I spoke at length with Erik Tews, the joint author of the paper that discloses a checksum weakness in TKIP that allows individual short packets to be decrypted without revealing the TKIP key. I wrote this up for Ars Technica with quite a bit of background on WEP and WPA. Tews's paper, co-written with Martin Beck, whom he credits as discovering and implementing a working crack (in aircrack-ng as a module), describes a way to use a backwards-compatible part of TKIP to exploit a weakness that remains from WEP. ARP packets and similarly short packets can be decoded. Longer packets are likely still safe, and TKIP hasn't been cracked. Don't believe the hype, but the exploit is still notable."
When clicking on this story I'm presented with the assigned advert and nothing else. Looks like when the page is loading it comes through but when the ad has fully loaded it kicks me to blocking all content other than the advert (hitting back on the browser I can see the same advert and the page doesn't blank out in a similar way). The advert is for Samsung printers and requests me to press Ctrl+P. FF3 XP SP3 (yeah, work computer, at least I get FF). Anyone else?
A leaked Secret Service questionnaire has revealed what many had feared: Barack Obama is an Italian.
Yes, our president-elect is a secret agent of the nefarious Italians. It is time for Americans to be careful and write our Congress Men. Italians hate democracy and hate our freedom. Do you want your children and grand children to live in holes and wear hats made of cheese? Is this what Obama the nefarious Italian agent wants? Warning!
