Better way of getting WPA password

There is a on-line wpa / wpa2 cracking service www.recoverwpa.com

They can check your handshake against huge dictionary for free.

And only payment you have to do for revealing the password after successful recovery.

wpa / wpa2

If i remember correctly Windows XP home doesnt support wpa2 where XP does. Im not sure if Microsoft have carried this trend across vista/W7 with professional/ultimate will get wpa2 and home will only get wpa1.

Nomenclature Confusion

It irritates me how the nomenclature is often confused when it is so simple.

WPA is often equated with TKIP and WPA2 with CCMP, but this is wrong...
A wireless access point advertising WPA may offer TKIP or CCMP or both at the same time. The same is true with WPA2.

TKIP is RC4 based.

CCMP is AES based.

How is this hard to understand or explain? And more importantly, and worse!, why do manufacturers get it wrong?

openvpn

Problem is WPA is super easy to setup, OpenVPN is not.

SSH / VPN anyone?

Why bother with WPA and things like that when you can always run SSH or VPN on it.

WPA/AES

So WPA/AES is still considered secure?
- I'm just asking, since that's what I'm using...

TKIP?

Simple solution, don't use TKIP. You can use AES on WPA you know, I certainly do.

Don't trust wireless

It's simple, folks. We were told that WPA was the second coming of Jesus, and look where that got us. And now WPA2 is the heir.

Here's what you do: Simply use unencrypted access points and route all traffic via openvpn. No worries about cracked encryption in the protocol; if someone cracks OpenVPN you simply upgrade to the newest version, or regenerate some new certificates, or whatever you want. You don't have to drop $$$ on a router and $$$ on a laptop or new desktop card.

@Bleex

But do they generate keys that are usable with Windows Update? The Windows XP tools were equally as fast, but Microsoft was smart enough to limit ranges of valid keys and such. I suspect they've done the same with Win7.

W7 in 60?

Actually it only takes about 2 sec to break Windows protections, just download the right torrent with t3h tool.

I thought it is saying Windows Product Activation

I thought W7 activation can be cracked in 60 seconds.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
