So tomorrow both WPA2 and RSA are going to be announced as broken.
Buy your sysadmin a drink of their choice tomorrow.
@Almafeta Today, WPA2 and RSA have been killed.
@Almafeta What happened to RSA?
@elomatreb Keys are factorizable. Full details coming tomorrow but still a high chance of Shenanigans and Alcohol Being Required.
@Almafeta If it's actually for decent key sizes that could be very bad indeed. I'm interested
@Almafeta I can find info on WPA2, do you happen to have any further details (link?) on RSA please?
WPA2 article to save people some searching: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/10/severe-flaw-in-wpa2-protocol-leaves-wi-fi-traffic-open-to-eavesdropping/
@Almafeta what if you are the sysadmin
@Almafeta although the RSA thing seems to just be TPM chips, rather than RSA itself being broken?
@Almafeta neat that windows tells you about it though https://queer.party/media/k33xMtCd7yhRNzZJyEQ
@Almafeta because of Rule Of Threes, I'm gonna assume the LIGO announcement today is, like, a black hole headed towards us or something.

@Almafeta Buy your sysadmin a drink tomorrow in any case.
And don't forget to do it regularly.
