#Centurylink wifi password recovery cracked#

I downloaded Reaver-wps and got all the dependencies set up on Ubuntu 12.04 took me literally 10 minutes, Then I basically used wash found some vunerable AP's loaded reaver-wps and cracked 3 neighbours connections inside of 10 hours and had 3 different connections to play with for the rest of the week. Lemme put it this way, I recently moved country and a week before I was moving out of my apartment I had to give up my Fiber line because well you know leaving country, Anyway regardless I obviously knew I couldn't survive without the Internet so what did I do ?

The Article should go along way to explain to people just how damned easy it is but people focused on the proprietary software aspect as defence, as the author clearly stated there are plenty of Open source / Free solutions out there that work just as well and sometimes even better. That's not going to work if you have any sort of password on your system, and even then it might not work. WPA vs WPA2 - rather than N vs G, now that I think about it.) As I mentioned, Windows won't (I think it one way it differentiates is based on the security type - e.g. I don't know what would happen if one had a password and the other had no password.). I know that iOS will automatically connect to 2 different networks with the same SSID (perhaps this can be seen as a bug - to be fair, in my case, both networks have the same password. Of course there are other layers of security to consider, but I think most people would agree that it's not a good idea to make it easier for your device to connect to malicious networks. Your mobile device may automatically check for e-mail, and the attacker could potentially spoof your e-mail server's address. Now that you're connected to a malicious network, the attacker can potentially obtain private info.

I think the real issue with not broadcasting your SSID is that someone can spoof your network when you're on the road, by the simple fact that you're broadcasting the name of the network you're trying to connect to. Still, it seems, that making your network less attractive than the networks around you is still better security than not using the additional features at all.
