We all knew this day would come. A (claimed) reliable and practical method for cracking WPA-TKIP has been discovered.

Erik Tews and Martin Beck will present their findings at PacSec net week but the message is clear: layered security is your best chance at actually achieving security.

I held out on posting this until the whitepaper was released. You can now find it here: http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/breakingwepandwpa.pdf

I don’t have time read the whole thing before class recommend that you do!
