New Attack Cracks Common Wi-Fi Encryption in a Minute by PC World: Yahoo! Tech
… attacks work only on WPA systems that use the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) algorithm. They do not work on newer WPA 2 devices or on WPA systems that use the stronger Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm.
So make sure your router is not using WPA with TKIP and certainly not WEP encryption! If you can, switch to WPA2.
Back in April I was excited about getting an HTC Pro2. True to VZW’s modus operandi, they have drug their feet and here it is 4 months later and we do not even have a release date. Not a week goes by that I don’t think about dropping VZW and going to Sprint.
I am now in “Pre” mode. I am liking what I am hearing from current Palm Pre users and I am thinking about dropping <gasp!> Windows Mobile and heading to WebOS. Something new, something fresh!! With the earliest VZW can release the Pre being January, can I wait 5 months? I guess it depends on whether my current phone, xv6800, can last another 5 months.
… about the only other thing that might cause me to jump on a non-Pre phone will be if the Android phone VZW is supposed to be releasing Sept/Oct peeks my interest. Right now I do not like the look of the Moto Sholes.
