As fas as I know the essid is used as a salt in the encryption of WPA PSK so it's not feasible to create the rainbow tables. Regards, Marlon On Tuesday 20 December 2005 18:58, Jeroen wrote:
Without studying the ins and outs, I think it should be possible to generate rainbowtables for WPA PSKs. Especially since on-the-fly cracking takes quite some time per crypt and most users use a alphanumeric characterset for the pass. It my assumption right? Anyone already working on this subject? Please let me know! Gz, Jeroen
