NDIS driver for a supported network driver in order to capture wireless packets. An Atheros WLAN adapter driver is included which supports WPA/PSK decryption, noise management and hardware timestamping with microsecond accuracy. A hierarchical tree view of...

such as cowpatty are already available to perform dictionary-based attacks against WPA-PSK. Robert Moskowitz, Senior Technical Director ICSA Labs, recommended in this article using an 128 bit PSK. Fortunately, all WPA implementations accept alphanumeric PSKs,...

MAC address filtering. TIP: For more information about WPA, see our Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) NeedToKnow - Part II. WPA support includes both Pre-Shared Key (PSK) and "enterprise" (RADIUS) modes with TKIP. The optional AES encryption supported by some competitive...

Pre-Shared Key (PSK) - only requires a single password entered into each WLAN node (Access Points, Wireless Routers, client adapters, bridges). Once the password is entered, WPA's TKIP mechanism takes over, generating and changing the WEP keys automatically....

Key (PSK) method. WPA2 is the implementation of the full 802.11i standard and adds stronger AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption and a few other improvements to WPA. Both WPA and WPA2 are much more secure than WEP. To use WPA or WPA2, you may need...
