I'm pretty sure this is bunk. This new hack is just a speeded up version of the hack that took like 15 minutes a few months ago. That hack barely allowed you to decrypt an ARP packet not even getting close to letting you decrypt a TCP/IP packet. So its just smoke an mirrors that's my impression from real security resources... an not just the fox news' of the IT world. See links.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I agree! They are getting closer, but you're not in danger of losing your identity yet.

Its not in all WPA. WPA 1 secured using TKIP is the one that is cracked so fast. It does not work on newer WPA 2 devices or on WPA systems that use the stronger Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, algorithm. So just switch to AES or WPA2.
