Yeah, there's a lot of "proof of concept" that is demonstrated, but a lot of the exploits require certain steps be performed before it actually works. Yeah, it works in the lab, but not so much in the wild.

I'm not saying that WPA2 can't be broken, but I am saying that it isn't trivial.

folks, you can crack WPA2 in almost the exact same ways as WEP was cracked with the same tools. the difference is it takes considerably longer to do, not harder just longer. the downside is, once have you have th handshake, you can go somewhere else to brute force it. with WEP the standard attack required being in range of the AP.

you don't need a lab at all. i have cracked my WPA2 password using the same tools i used to crack my WEP password back in the day. this is why they tell you to use a good password.

If you claim to have cracked WPA, you might take that to Def Con and report how you did it, because the smartest hackers in the world haven't figured it out yet. WEP and WPA anything are two completely animals and the tools are also completely different. WEP can be discovered with Wire Shark, not so with WPA because
there are no "tools" to decrypt it. It hasn't been done.
