FAO Geeks, Wifi Security
 
I strongly urge you all to upgrade to WPA2 as soon as possible.

Why? Well, I heard a rumour a while back that WPA-TKIP could be cracked quite easily.

Well, I've just cracked a WPA-AES-CCMP (512bit key) in the amazing time of 16 minutes.

If you want a secure network, or you're paranoid & live in a tin-foil house, move to WPA2.</p>

How easy is it to crack a wifi network and say, insert a virus?

Can you count to 25 with one eye closed?

Easy enough.

But who would actually bother with a home network? Far more lucrative or satisfyingly destructive (to hackers) to got for a company network.

Not really true, it depends on how many layers of security you have.

For example, you could crack the wireless key and be dumped onto a DMZ where you can only access a VPN gateway and have to VPN onto the internal network.

Or if you do gain access to the internal network immediately you still need to compromise a host within that network.

Some people would want to bother, ahem.

Is there any software you would need to hack a home network?

My car has a co-ax cable soldered to the frame, and a wifi aerial connector on the other end. This may/may not be related to the above quote.

Starting to ask about what software you'd need, well, my initial instinct is to tell you to google. :)

Yup. There's 15 unsecured networks in Soho Square alone! :rolleyes:

How many companies bother with a setup like this? Not many.

That is true of a home network as well. Unless you just want internet access.
