Here's a depressing little quote (source)
Quote:
"WPA-PSK may be vulnerable to a brute force attack but, with the choice of the right password, it becomes unfeasible.

Assuming a decent utility is used, a 31 character long password of random upper- and lowercase letters and numbers results in 62^31, or 3.7x10^55 possible combinations.

If we assume 60 attempts per second, it will take more that 1.3x10^36 times the age of the universe (15 billion years) to attempt every possible combination. The average time would be half that, or 6.5x10^35 times the age of the universe.

Even if someone were to come up with a scheme that reduced the bruteforce time to 1 trillionth of what would be required otherwise, it would still take 6.5x10^23 times the age of the universe. And so on..."
Are these what the are looking for? {6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33} {ca3d7387-f67b-11da-bbec-8000600fe800}
