[kwlug-disc] KRACK on WPA2

[Bob Jonkman]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

No worse than Firesheep.  If you're already using SSL (httpS or ssh)
or otherwise encrypting your traffic end-to-end then this is not a
significant vulnerability.

And you can't do anything about it, except keep your software
up-to-date. Unless you're a WiFi crypto protocol developer you won't
be developing your own fix...
