WPA cracking
Given the security vulnerabilities found in WEP, WPA was created in 2002 as an improved wireless security standard for IEEE 802.11 networks. WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which applies the RC4 encryption cipher suite for data privacy between the wireless access point and client devices.
Furthermore, Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) was later developed to solve security flaws in its predecessor. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption as opposed to the RC4 cipher. Additionally, WPA2 implemented Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP), which replaced TKIP.
Now, let's get into the fun part, cracking WPA to gain entry to a target wireless ...
