During an authorized county Wi-Fi assessment, an assessor considers uploading captured handshakes to a third-party cloud cracking service for speed. What concern should stop that move without explicit approval?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Handshakes are client evidence, not free uploads for a mystery cloud farm. Unless the RoE and privacy folks signed off, keep captures in the engagement boundary. Speed is not a hall pass to ship city RF artifacts to strangers.
Full Explanation
Handshake captures can contain enough material to verify passphrases and may implicate client identifiers and engagement scope. Sending them to unauthorized third-party crackers can breach confidentiality, contracts, and privacy expectations even if computation is faster. Cloud vendors are not limited to WEP, outsourcing does not 'break' AES-CCMP as a cipher, and local GPU use under authorization is a separate question from third-party disclosure.
