What is PSK Cracking?

Understanding PSK Cracking

PSK cracking is the process of attempting to recover the pre-shared key (PSK) used in Wi-Fi networks secured with WPA/WPA2-PSK encryption. Attackers use various methods like dictionary attacks, brute force attacks, or rainbow tables to guess or crack the PSK. This can lead to unauthorized access to the Wi-Fi network and potential exposure of sensitive information. It is crucial for organizations to use strong, unique, and complex PSKs to mitigate the risk of PSK cracking attacks.
