I mentioned earlier the NSA comment about breaking AES in that a computer that could break DES in one second would take 139 trillion years to break AES. AES uses the same 256 bit length as WPA2. I don't know if there's any way to make it a smaller task, they way there was with WEP and the initialization vector. Of course WPA2 uses AES for the encryption, so if you can't crack the password, it will still take 139 trillion years to break the encryption.
Are you actually "breaking" the encryption algorithmically or are you generating the set of all possible combinations and trying them one by one? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
