NETWORK HACKING CHAPTER : 10

THEORY BEHIND WPA NETWORK 

 WPA was designed to address the issues in WEP and provide
better encryption.
The main issue in WEP is the short IV which means that they
can be repeated, therefore by collecting a large number of IVs
aircrack-ng can determine the key stream and the WEP key.
In WPA each packet is encrypted with a unique temporary key,
this means the number of data packets that we collect is
irrelevant.
WPA and WPA2 are similar , the only difference is that WPA2
uses an algorithm called CCMP.
