[quote]I understand you want to trust WPA, but then just tell me why WPA2 was proposed in first place?[/quote] Well actually, as far as I know, WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) was proposed when flaws where found in WEP, and WPA is really just something intermediate between them. [quote]It's the first time you say this explicitely, and ["no publicly known flaws"] quite differs from the "no known flaws"[/quote] Yes, sorry for being sloppy. (It was implicit, since I can't possibly be expected to know undiclosed flaws). [quote](ok, I am a bitch at times, but you know that, don't you?)[/quote] Yes we've had our discussions :D [quote]all in all, WPA or similar encryption is part of the tools we can use to make a system moresecure, so I recommend them for sure, but my point was: they are not 100% safe, and we all agree I think?[/quote] Yes. [quote]the best security wiz "skill" is social engineering.[/quote] Yes, people are the weakest link in security. Loading...
