Cracking WPA2: A Cybersecurity Experiment In Wi-Fi Vulnerabilities
Cracking WPA2 networks is possible, but requires weak passwords & human error. Strong passwords & good security practices are key to Wi-Fi security, not just encryption standards like WPA2.
In the small, dimly lit basement of an old apartment building, Sarah sat hunched over her laptop, sipping cold coffee as her fingers danced across the keyboard. She wasn’t a hacker by trade, but a curious cybersecurity enthusiast trying to understand how Wi-Fi networks, especially the ones she trusted, could be compromised. This was no malicious mission — it was an exploration of the unseen vulnerabilities that so many people took for granted when they connected to a wireless network. For a visual walkthrough of the concepts covered in this article, check out my YouTube Video: Sarah’s...
