The Beck/Tews WiFi WPA attack presented at PacSec has been improved (down to 1 min, MITM) by 2 .jp researchers (Ohigashi, Morii) http://bit.ly/clCpm Remember: avoid WPA/TKIP and force AES only encryption in WPA2 - don't let your access point automatically fall back automatically to the insecure TKIP/WPA mode, to be safe. (At least until any WPA2 attacks are published ;-P)
At the risk of sounding like a troll, this paper looks suspiciously like one of those stuffy old useless academic style papers that Dave warned us about a month or so ago. I don't see any links to conference proceedings in the sidebar on the page, but that's about all that's missing. There's even a (useful!) abstract published. How academy is that? Could it be that perhaps the anti-academics with chips on shoulders about ivory towers aren't entirely correct? Or is this a spasm of the dieing[sic] brontosaurus?
