WiFi protected setup?

http://www.theregist...fi_not_protected/

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is used to secure access to wireless networks and requires each router to have a unique eight-digit PIN.

the protocol used by Wi-Fi Protected Setup reports back after the first four digits have been entered, and indicates if they are right, which means they can be attacked separately. The last of the eight digits is just a checksum, so having got the first four the attacker only then has to try another 1,000 combinations (identifying the other three digits) and the entire PIN is known.

Oops...

That's worse than WEP.

And I still use WEP because I had one device that only did WEP. And I couldn't be arsed changing it.

(Besides, I have MAC control on the firewall, so if some neighbour guesses my key and gets on, he's still going nowhere. :-)

wpa_supplicant is below network-manager - (scoenye) - (1) - Dec. 27, 2011, 11:58:51 PM EST

Could actually be that - (drook) - Dec. 28, 2011, 12:15:55 AM EST

That's not even seeing the networks - (drook) - Dec. 28, 2011, 04:21:28 PM EST

I'll bet it's related to this. - (Another Scott) - (24) - Dec. 28, 2011, 04:44:43 PM EST

Shouldn't be. (Some things to try inside) - (scoenye) - (23) - Dec. 28, 2011, 08:57:54 PM EST

Thanks for the correction. -NT - (Another Scott) - Dec. 28, 2011, 08:46:17 PM EST

I hate wireless... - (folkert) - (3) - Dec. 28, 2011, 09:36:32 PM EST

Yep. Including the peripherals. -NT - (scoenye) - (1) - Dec. 28, 2011, 11:10:02 PM EST

Even with Apple hardware! - (folkert) - Dec. 29, 2011, 01:18:27 AM EST

Well ... - (drook) - (17) - Dec. 29, 2011, 02:59:30 PM EST

Does the problem go away with static IPs? -NT - (Another Scott) - Dec. 29, 2011, 03:15:58 PM EST

DHCP is probably a red herring - (scoenye) - (15) - Dec. 29, 2011, 06:58:01 PM EST

Nope, no DHCPOFFER - (drook) - (14) - Dec. 29, 2011, 07:17:14 PM EST

Static IP must be on the laptop - (scoenye) - (13) - Dec. 29, 2011, 08:42:23 PM EST

Doesn't even show up on the scan - (drook) - (12) - Dec. 29, 2011, 09:31:42 PM EST

Did you see other networks in the area? - (scoenye) - (11) - Dec. 29, 2011, 10:16:30 PM EST

Cycled the router and it connects now - (drook) - (10) - Dec. 29, 2011, 10:28:58 PM EST

Glad that's sorted... - (scoenye) - (9) - Dec. 29, 2011, 11:31:04 PM EST

Been thinking about flashing this one - (drook) - (8) - Dec. 30, 2011, 03:21:08 PM EST

Stay away from Cisco's SOHO stuff... - (folkert) - (7) - Dec. 30, 2011, 04:19:14 PM EST

Forgot to include the quote I found - (drook) - Dec. 30, 2011, 04:36:45 PM EST

People need to be more active in returning crap. - (static) - Dec. 30, 2011, 05:50:47 PM EST

There have been a lot of changes. - (hnick) - (4) - Dec. 31, 2011, 08:20:56 AM EST

Ripe market for "Apple-fying" - (drook) - (3) - Dec. 31, 2011, 01:08:00 PM EST

I'd agree with that. - (hnick) - Dec. 31, 2011, 02:09:10 PM EST
