Gone in 120 seconds: cracking Wi-Fi security

 

Automobile Corporate and home users should ensure they are using WPA2 for the best levels of wireless security.  Otherwise, a "lightly secured" environment can be defeated easily as noted in this article.
Gone in 120 seconds: cracking Wi-Fi security

QUOTE:  WEP is dead - and here's the proof.  Cracking the Wi-Fi security protocol WEP is a probability game. The number of packets required to successfully decrypt the key depends on various factors, luck included. 
When WEP was compromised in 2001, the attack needed more than five million packets to succeed. During the summer of 2004, a hacker named KoreK published a new WEP attack (called chopper) that reduced by an order of magnitude the number of packets requested, letting people crack keys with hundreds of thousands of packets, instead of millions. 
Last month, three researchers, Erik Tews, Andrei Pychkine and Ralf-Philipp Weinmann developed a faster attack (based on a cryptanalysis of RC4 by Andreas Klein), that works with ARP packets and just needs 85,000 packets to crack the key with a 95 per cent probablity. This means getting the key in less than two minutes.

Deploying Applications Using Proper DNS, Group Policy And DFS

 

Although it's not so new and fancy as streaming and virtualization applications, a perfectly suitable way to deploy applications can be using (proper) DNS, Group Policy and DFS. In case you've lost track of this "old fashioned way" by all the fancy-smancy new technologies, Aaron Parker refreshes your memory how to deploy applications using Group Polices properly:
"In this article I've outlined what I recommend for best utilising Group Policy to deploy applications. Deploying applications via Group Policy is a fairly straight-forward process, if a little limiting, however if you don't do it right you could be setting yourself up for some [more ...]
