As a budding cybersecurity enthusiast, you have set up a small lab at home to learn more about wireless network security. While experimenting with your home Wi-Fi network, you decide to use a well-known hacking tool to capture network traffic and attempt to crack the Wi-Fi password. However, despite many attempts, you have been unsuccessful. Your home Wi-Fi network uses WPA2 Personal with AES encryption. Why are you finding it difficult to crack the Wi-Fi password?
You are finding it difficult to crack the Wi-Fi password because the password is too complex and long. WPA2 Personal with AES encryption is regarded as highly secure, especially when used with a strong, complex password. A complex and long password significantly increases the time and computational power needed to crack it through brute-force attacks, making it difficult to break into such networks without knowing the password.
B. The Wi-Fi password is too complex and long.
Hey team can we double-check this response
Im unsure about the accuracy of this statement
The issue here is A. The hacking tool is outdated The question suggests that you're using a well known hack which involves capturing network traffic to get into the wifi network, this is how the IV attack worked on WEP, by picking up enough packets from the air to be able to figure out which key is in use. That doesn't work with WPA2 though, WPA2 is vulnerable to KRACK which attacks the network by abusing the 3 way handshake authentication method. Besides look at the suggested answer, nothing is uncrackable, especially not WiFi, even something like AES256 bit is breakable... it would just take a billion years to do it. But KRACK will break through WPA2.
KRACK attack does not allow the password value to be determined. The attacker only steals the session key.
C. The network is using an uncrackable encryption method
ChatGPT: B. The Wi-Fi password is too complex and long. Here's why this option is the most plausible: WPA2 Personal with AES encryption is currently considered secure for home and personal use, provided a strong, complex, and long password is used. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely regarded as unbreakable with current computing technology when implemented correctly. The security of a WPA2 network largely depends on the password's strength. A complex and long password (typically 12 characters or more, including numbers, symbols, and upper and lower case letters) significantly increases the time and computational power required to crack it through brute-force attacks.
C. WPA2 Personal with AES is widely used. If it would be simple to crack would not be used at large scale.
WPA2 with AES is not uncrackable, but it is very secure when used with a strong passphrase. It can be cracked if the password is weak or if certain vulnerabilities are exploited, but this is not the case here.
