I'd like to know of any existing tools designed to test the WPA-PSK
security mode. I know it's more secure than wep with TKIP and so on but
I wonder if there are any tools that are able to crack the WPA key
within a reasonable time limit - 2-3 hours? Any ideas and suggestions on
WPA security will be appreciated.
I think it is unlikely that dictionary attacks will be effective against
WPA/WPA2-PSK networks, as long as the passphrase is reasonable and not a
dictionary word. That said, WPA/WPA2-PSK is not a suitable
authentication mechanism for enterprise networks. Since the PSK is
shared among all stations on the wireless network, every user with a
workstation that has the PSK could conceivably know the PSK and share it
with anyone else. Further, a stolen device could disclose the PSK for
the network, compromising all later data exchanges.
