Consultant: Graphics Cards May Not Be Quite as Menacing as Claimed ... Idiots.
More on that “GPUs as cracker tools” item from last week from Rich Mogull, who says “Your WPA-PSK wireless network is at risk … if you are an idiot”:
“These guys are forgetting two things- first, this method doesn’t work AT ALL against an enterprise installation (RADIUS) of WPA. George Ou has more on this.
“Second, as the original article added as an update, this attack only speeds up brute forcing. Use a long, strong passphrase for your WPA key and you’re fine. Rob Graham also has more on this.
“WPA-PSK still sucks to manage, and keys go stale, but use a good one and you’re fine. GCC should go back to playing Team Fortress or something with those video cards, because they were either misquoted, or clueless.”
