New Improvements On the Attacks On WPA/TKIP

Posted by timothy on from the feelin'-nervous dept.

olahau writes "Two weeks ago, improvements to the previously reported attack on WPA/TKIP, were presented at the NorSec Conference in Oslo, Norway. In their paper coined 'An Improved Attack on TKIP,' Finn Michael Halvorsen and Olav Haugen describe the improvements, which enable an attacker to inject larger, maliciously crafted packets into a WPA/TKIP protected network, thus opening the probabilities for new and more sophisticated attacks against the well-established wireless security protocol."

    Ah yes, the famous beer encryption algorithm. Get your attackers so drunk they won't even be able to read the plaintext.
