Comment on Dog-like robot jams home networks and disables devices during police raids — DHS develops NEO robot for walking denial of service attacks

  I don’t believe this is the case. 3 is fairly robust, and 2 is still just brute forcing, though rapidly on a local CPU. The one that’s trivial is trivial to crack is WEP.

    WPA2 is pretty trivial too. Not as easy as WEP since you do have to brute-force the password, but that’s pretty quick on modern systems. We had multiple assignments when I was in college that had cracking a WPA2 password as a step (in the interest of time, the instructor used passwords from the RockYou list but still)

      Yeah, if you’re using common words or variants thereof, you’re gonna have a bad time. But a 128 character string of random characters is going to be functionally safe from such an attack, for now.

        And you’ll go crazy every time you try to add a device that doesn’t support QR code scanning.

        Just use multiple dictionary words with a symbol or two thrown in. Or go all out and set up 802.1x with client certificates and save the PSKs for a firewalled segment of less important crap.
