"New Method Simplifies Cracking WPA/WPA2 Passwords on 802.11 Networks"

Jens Steube, developer of the password-cracking tool called Hashcat, has discovered a new way in which attackers can compromise routers that use WPA/WPA2 security and crack Wi-Fi passwords. Steube discovered this method during his examination of the WPA3 wireless security protocol in relation to how the new standard could be cracked. This article continues to discuss the new technique, previous WPA/WPA2 cracking methods, the time it takes to crack WPA/WPA2 wireless passwords, and the creation of strong wireless network passwords.
