Vulnerabilities

Here are some things to watch out for when setting up your WiFi.

WEP

WEP is broken. Use WPA2 instead. Initialization vectors (IVs) leak statistical data leading to the encryption key.[1]

aircrack-ng may be used to gather IVs over time and then use this information to more easily guess the password.

WPS

WPS is broken. Leave this disabled on the router.
