Tips to Secure Your Network in the Wake of KRACK (Linux.com)

[Security] Posted Oct 18, 2017 19:21 UTC (Wed) by corbet

Konstantin Ryabitsev argues on Linux.com that WiFi security is only a part of the problem. "Wi-Fi is merely the first link in a long chain of communication happening over channels that we should not trust. If I were to guess, the Wi-Fi router you’re using has probably not received a security update since the day it got put together. Worse, it probably came with default or easily guessable administrative credentials that were never changed. Unless you set up and configured that router yourself and you can remember the last time you updated its firmware, you should assume that it is now controlled by someone else and cannot be trusted."
