A security researcher has devised a new WiFi hacking technique that could be exploited to easily crack WiFi passwords of most modern routers. Jens Atom Steube, lead developer of the popular password-cracking tool Hashcat, developed the new technique accidentally. The attack was discovered accidentally while looking for new ways to attack the new WPA3 security standard. The new attack technique does not work against the recently introduced WPA 3 protocol, Steube wrote in a post. The attacker can obtain the WPA PSK (Pre-Shared Key) password from the PMKID. The time to crack the password depends on its complexity.”]
