Bonus $100 from me if you do something innocuous but annoying as fuck so they put pressure on developers to fix the problem
something like playing "can't touch this" on loop at a locked volume on all devices linked to the wifi
Oh man. The modems/routers the ISPs around here offer alongside your internet connection are fucked forever.
I have one that didn't have port-forwarding on it. I got it in 2012 and just put it into a bridged mode and put a real router after it. But people in the forums were asking for port forwarding or ANY kind of updates which some ISP-tech responded with "Coming soon!" Well I just looked at the thread again and the update hasn't arrived yet. :v:

Or make every printer in the halls of Congress print out nothing but test pages and dickbutt until they run out of paper and toner.
Eh, encryption is hard to break but not impossible. I'm not surprised.

The problem with the KRACK exploit was not so much because of weak encryption, but the poor way keys would be generated and communicated. Make no mistake, WPA2 AES is still very secure, but it doesn't work so well when keys are predictable.

I wasn't saying it isn't secure, I'm just saying that it's not a surprise. I had people telling me to turn off my WiFi like it's since big emergency when I only really use my phone on the WiFi. And my neighbours are all oldies
[QUOTE=winsanity;52788884]If you are running dd-wrt on your router, build 33525 and newer has the patch for KRACK

Might want to check the dd-wrt forums though, there might be issues depending on your router.[/QUOTE]
Still waiting on the kongac build to drop.
