Wifi access is also a basic condition of several sorts of retail, for instance running a coffee shop.

On top of all their other problems, long or high-entropy password and soft keyboards don't mix. Sure, you COULD waste 20 minutes typing some long string of characters into every persons' tablet and laptop, but it wastes time and it seriously puts people off. You have a meeting with clients, and they need wifi access. Wifi access is a basic condition of doing business. If I have to hunt down some long-ass password every time my friend wants to check their email, it's a Problem.

Me, I consider wifi access to be basic hospitality. Oh good, the entropy fetishists line up to rail against the evils of people not being random string generators, rather than admitting that requiring high entropy from human beings is a stupid idea. Whadda ya think? Am I crazy about this? Naive?

I doubt you'd be able to crack it even giving the crackers the phrase 'cat toupee'. As you could easily have done '+++++)))))cat-toupee92)))))+++++' as well, breaking up the pattern. It doesn't know what symbol or letter you used to pad the password. It's not like Wargames where they BAM, have one digit, then BAM they have two digits.

Now, cracking software has no idea how many letters are usually allowed in a password. So the entire, easy to remember password is '++++++++++cat-toupee92))))))))))' That's a 31 digit password. So like, take '+' ten times before the 'cat-toupee92', then like ')' ten times afterword. Sure, 'cat' and 'toupee' are probably in the dictionary based cracking algorithm, but then you pad it with your own pattern.

cracking can be made offline against a dictionnary or by bruteforceįor instance, take an easy to remember password like 'cat-toupee92' That right there is nine letters and two symbols/numbers. Please note that implementing long response time or lock-down after too many attempts have 2 weaknesses: strong passwords for both the network and the router: duh !!! using a unique character string for the network name: used to make a difference because it prevented the sue of rainbow tables, no longer useful because bruteforcing has been gigantic leap with GPU-assisted password cracking WEP, WPA-2 with less than 8 characters from an extended character set is crackable in a VERY short time disabling remote adminsitration= no difference, because the hacker is in the internal network, he/she is accessing the administration from the internal network MAC filtering = no difference, to siff packet, you need a promiscuous network card, which is also the requirement for sppofing MAC not broadcasting the SSID = no difference, any war-driving stumbler application will display all SSID But by not broadcasting the SSID, adding MAC filtering, disabling remote administration of the router, using WPA-2, using a unique character string for the network name, and strong passwords for both the network and the router, I'd like to think that it will deter 99% of people. I have no doubt that someone with enough time and ambition could crack my home network. From there it's a fairly trivial set of cryptanalysis techniques to identify the 'master' key used to generate the encryption given the IV those frames used. That in turn makes it very easy to get two frames (or more, usually many more) that used the same IV. That means that after 2^16 uniquely encrypted frames you will have a frame that re-uses the IV. WEP's issue is the intialization vector (IV) for each encrypted frame is only 16bits (IIRC) long. While I understand the situation you were in using a 26 character password did nothing to help you. Gonna be glad to be away from WEP encryption.

I figured someone at the bus stop could have hacked into our router long ago. We live right on the corner of 2 main streets w/ a bus stop outside the wall of our backyard no less. I downgraded the router to use WEP security, but the longest 26 char password.

Worst part is I've lived at a house where my landlord had an old lappy that was built during the integrated wifi WEP days.

Probably not the most secure, but at least I can remember it. I use multi-syllable words, but between each syllable I'll add a symbol.
