WPA cracker in the cloud

This is a great idea. Moxie Marlinspike is generally someone worth watching. I didn't do the math on his cloud hosting, but he could double the price here and it'd still be worth it.<p>What this site really says is, "don't use WPA-PSK on sensitive networks."

If I could get to the cloud, I wouldn't need a WPA key cracker+..<p>(+Comment does not not endorse theft of wireless networking).

A lot of people seem to misunderstand what this is for. This isn't about breaking into your neighbor's wifi, this is about professional penetration testers more easily being able to crack wpa-psk.

Think nosey neighbors. It's, of course, unethical, invasive and rude... but that hasn't stopped any of my neighbors from looking in the windows when they are open.<p>To me the valuable part is the dictionary. The rest of this is relatively straight forward script kiddy HOWTO stuff. Most people I know have an extra computer that is idling 95% of the time and could run a process for 5+ days. It's the relatively instant gratification and ease of use that I like.

This professional looking webpage is brought to you by the following non-professional-looking names:<p>A Thoughtcrime Labs Production In Association With The Institute For Disruptive Studies<p>No one else thinks this is just a little bit dodgy? I know it seems to be par for the course for some of the security scene, but still.

This really is a great idea. I think this style of cloud cracking might have larger applications as well, outside of just PSK. Inexperienced users will pay to crack systems like this.

Is WPA2 still safe from this kind of attack?
