Probably not, even for inexperienced users. WEP was flawed but it's been rolled out already and most ISPs configure routers with proper WPA-PSK and long passphrases.
- mistercow 13y agoThat depends on the router and configuration. There's a flaw in WPS that makes it possible to quickly crack a router that has it enabled, even if it's using WPA/WPA2.
- CatMtKing 13y agoWow. I was curious what flaw you were talking about... It seriously verifies the first 4 digits? That deserves a face palm.
- mistercow 13y agoYeah, reporting the two halves separately is extremely bizarre. It's like they bent over backwards specifically to add a security flaw for no obvious reason. It's surprising that nobody noticed it before it was standardized and shipped.

- yesbabyyes 13y agoThat's almost like in the movies, where the system always seems to verify each digit individually, thus making any code trivial to crack.
