A student claims 'WPA2 is unbreakable' after reading about AES-CCMP. What nuance should the municipal mentor emphasize for Personal mode?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
AES-CCMP is strong steel, but the passphrase is still the combination on the lock. Capture a handshake and a weak city Wi-Fi password becomes an offline guessing game. 'Unbreakable' forgets that humans pick terrible secrets.
Full Explanation
WPA2-Personal derives keys from a shared passphrase; strong CCMP does not erase weak-PSK risk. If an authorized capture obtains a usable 4-way handshake, offline dictionary or brute-force guessing can recover poor passphrases without further interaction. Mentors should separate cipher strength from passphrase entropy when students over-generalize 'WPA2 is unbreakable.'
