A lot of noise about a new research that "cracked" WPA was made this week. Well, there are more details about it today, and they clearly show that the WPA sky is not falling. There is a very good abstract of what is happening on the article above: "To describe the attack succinctly, it's a method of decrypting and arbitrarily and successfully re-encrypting and re-injecting short packets on networks that have devices using TKIP. That's a very critical distinction; this is a serious attack, and the first real flaw in TKIP that's been found and exploited. But it's still a subset of a true key crack."
