WPA-PSK with TKIP but without MIC

Does WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption not support MIC?
any input is very welcome
Oliver

WPA is a standardized mechanism for accomplishing a couple of things with respect to WLAN security:
1) Uses a mixing function to create "key integrity" (TKIP)- this prevents "passive" WEP attacks
2) Creates a "message integrity check", which prevents packet tampering, typically used for the purpose of inducing the system to send packets that could be used to compromise a WEP key

  • WPA-PSK w/ TKIP & WDS

    Is it possible to have a small number of standalone (no controller) AP's run WPA-PSK with TKIP and use one AP for WDS to enable fast roaming, but without having to have any kind of local or server based authentication ? I don't want to have to define logins for each user, I just want to use a single pre-shared key and need them to be able to roam seamlessly between APs.

    I understand that you want to implement layer 2 fast secure roaming without using a dot1x authentication. If this is correct, then I think you can do the configuration you have mentioned. But, for sure, fats secure roaming, th client and the Ap shuld support CCKM.

  • Call to_char, to_number or to_date with nls_pars but without a format model

    Hi
         Does somebody know if there is a way to call to_char, to_number or to_date functions defining nlsparam argument and without defining the format model arument, in order to use implicit conversions.
    Thanks
    Bye Alessandro

    In my environment there is a table where I store old values (each field as varchar2) of updated and deleted table records with a sort of audit_triggers.
    These triggers are the ones using to_char(<number>) to convert a number. It works fine because it does what I need. If i specify a format model ( the same for all the conversion ) I have some problems. Some of them are the following, there are more.
    - with decimals for the format model on an integer I'll have a conversion like "1.00000000000" on the table storing old values and I had indications to avoid this behavior.
    - if I don't specify enough 9s for the integer part the number will be converted to a string like "################".
    Now I found that some users work with a different nls_numeric_characters session parameter and this introduced problems for reading those numbers because 1.500 can be one dot five or fifteen hundreds.
    A format model that does the same as implicit conversion would work as well but I didn't find it yet.
    Thanks Alessandro

    My need then is to call to_char() with nls_pars but without a format model

  • Using Brio with VB but without the Brio VB API

    Hi there. We're currently attempting to integrate our product (a website) with Brio. For the time being it's only being done for a demo to gauge whether are customers are interested in the functionality or not, so it may or may not actually happen for the version proper. Because of this our company is unwilling to invest in the API just yet, but still wants the work done (the usual developer's conundrum). I'd like to know is it possible to call into Brio, generate a report and embed the results on a webpage without using the VB API supplied by Hyperion? Does anyone know how to do this? It's being done for a demo, so efficiency and performance aren't yet relevant - just more or less a hacked version that can act as a proof of concept. I'm personally new to Brio, so I don't really know how to go about it. Do we need to get the VB API immediately, or can we wait 'til we know we need to write a version that we can sell.Basically, the task is to pass a customer ID into a .bqy file when the user selects an option from a dropdown, and display the results in a frame on the webpage.Any thoughts?

    This kind of questions are sometimes posted. To use GPIB from .NET managed environment, the easiet way is use VISA COM software. The VISA COM software is available on every PC which installs NI-VISA 3.0. I posted a C# example using VISA COM at the following post. Basically the approach is the same for VB.NET and VC++.NET.

    You want to add:
    transform=storage:n
    but that may remove more than what you may want. It may also remove the tablespace information. Your best bet would be to run the impdp command with
    transform=storage:n sqlfile=mysql.sql
    this will create a file called mysql.sql that you can edit to see if it is doing what you want it to do. When you add sqlfile to your impdp command, nothing is imported, instead, the commands are written to the file instead.
    Hope this helps.

  • KM Scheduler isn't running with Implementation - but without

    Hi experts,
    I have a very confusing problem with my portal scheduler.
    This is my implementation.
    public class AbstractImportScheduler implements ISchedulerTask
         private static final Location logger = Location.getLocation(AbstractImportScheduler.class);
         public AbstractImportScheduler()
              // Note:
              // The task must implement a default constructor to have them created by the scheduler after a system (re)start.
         public void run(String id, Properties properties)
              logger.debugT("start import scheduler");
              logger.debugT("Scheduler is taking a local file for import.");
              try
                   Importer importer = new Importer();
                   importer.run(takeLocalFile);
              catch (Exception exc)
                   logger.errorT(exc.toString());
              logger.debugT("end import scheduler");
    So, if I comment the try-catch-block out, everything works fine - the scheduler is running. I can check this looking at the logfiles.
    But if I remove the comment around the try-catch, the scheduler will not work.
    I'm sorry for not using the search, but I have absolutely no idea for what I can search.
    So, hopefully you can help me. If you need further information, I will try giving them.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Sending an username and a password with SSL but without Authentication

    Hi,
    I've read several threads about this topic but I'm still confused. I need to send a login and a password in a more or less secure way (not sending it in the get/post and not using a base64 encoding), but I don't want authentication, just to send the info from the browser to the server without everyone in a firewall/proxy being able to read it. I don't want the popup window annoying the user. Buying a certificate from a certification entity would be the last option.
    Could anyone confirm that is impossible to do without including the authentication?
    Thanks in advance,
    - Juan

    HTTP Authentication works via a glorified GET anyway.
    You can only (generally) send stuff via GET or POST.
    SSL encryption takes place outside (or around) the request and response of HTTP, so using an https URL to a server that supports it will make sure that the data in the request including the name & password are encrypted.
    I don't want the popup window annoying the user. Not that you need a popup... a simple form would do, but you need to get the username from the user somehow. You can't get it from the browser otherwise.
    A certificate is not normally needed on the client side, but it is needed on the server.

    Hi,
    Whether you need the index or not, someone has created a spatial index on the table.
    You can drop the index, or you can add the metadata for the table into user_sdo_geom_metadata (it was there at the time the index was created).

  • TS5150 Is there any way to view movies with subtitles but without closed captioning? I can get both or neither, but not subtitles only.

    Just in the last year I have had problems with a lot of foreign language films where I can have both subtitles and closed captioning or neither. (I'm very fortunate not to require closed captioning, but I speak only English and Spanish, so I often need subtitles.) I am in my 50s and have been a huge foreign film fan since college, but I don't remember ever having this problem until very recently. Tech support chats with Netflix and AppleCare calls in re iTunes/AppleTV have not provided any answers. The current state of the art seems a step backwards from what never used to be a problem. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else has had this issue. A search of "subtitles" brought 0 responses, so I have to assume I'm the first person to have asked about it.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • [SOLVED]WPA-PSK at Install

    Hey guys, downloaded Arch Linux today, was reading the begginer install guide, and need to know what command should i use to make my Wifi work correctly at Install, i am using this:
    # wpa_passphrase Exploit "93517781" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    # wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    Is that correct? or should i use another commands to make my WPA-PSK, with TKIP encrypt, work fine?

    When you ran dhcpd (interfacenamehere) did it give you an ip address? I ask because I had to do the same thing at install (no ethernet) and it worked straight away for me.

  • Leopard problem connecting with wifi AP using WPA PSK instead of WEP

    I cannot connect via Airport to Speedtouch 580i accesspoint using WPA PSK.
    WEP works just fine, but using WPA PSK I keep getting the message invalid password and then cannot connect wirelessly.
    Tiger as of version 10.4.3 through .11 worked flawlessly via WPA PSK with the same AP.
    I installed 10.5.4 Leopard from scratch and used combo 10.5.5 and and a few days ago combo update 10.5.6 but problem remain.
    After the clean install I used migration assistent to get user data and logins from Tiger into Leopard, having used an image made with SuperDuper.
    I have read many support forums and suggestions, it all didn't result in a working internet connection at all with WPA PSK :-...(
    What I did until now:
    - Disabled IPv6 for the airport interface
    - Changed to a simple WPA PSK password without CAPITALS instead of something like #A!$($D$%\T@q{|
    - Changed to a fixed channel in the wireless accesspoint instead of auto. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195706
    - Rebooted Accesspoint various times.
    - Changed to 802.11g only instead of b+g
    - Tried both TKIP and AES as encryption type
    - Disabled and re-enabled Firewall in Leopard
    - Changed to fixed ip adress instead of via DHCP for network addres assignment
    - Tried connecting with and without broadcast of SSID to AP.
    - Repaired keychain , http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5858982
    - Did various keychain changes incl deleting old values
    - Deleted some items from library, as per suggestions from forums.
    In the end I have a suspicion that it all drills down to something simple, quotes (" ") are used to present the password in the password field, at least this is the case with WEP, but this does not harm the functionality for WEP as this is working alright.
    With the current WPA PSK implementation it perhaps does influence, because it keeps saying invalid password. I have tested both with and without quotes and things did not improve at all.
    I'm running out of ideas to solve this matter, therefore I have sent a report to Apple via their Feedback webpage.
    While having using 10.5.5 fo a while I had big hopes 10.5.6 would cure the problem , unfortunately this is not the case.
    Please provide more suggestions to solve this problem.

    Checked Accesspoint firmware upgrade. The only difference between the current 4.2.7.25 and the latest version, 4.2.7.30 is the support of WDS i.e. expanding the wireless network by connecting 2 APs together (via WEP).
    Still tried upgrading via the MAC OS X update software, it did not fire up, I think the software is not fond of Leopards
    As WEP works ok with Leopard on my G4 Powerbook 12inch, I didn't want to focus further on the speedtouch because of the motto 'if it ain't broke don't fix it.'
    Am going to research more on Keychain and DHCP, others are reporting issues with it along with this 'airport crisis' http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=375838

  • WPA2 - WPA-PSK - TKIP trouble

    Situation:
    - D-Link DIR-635 802.11n-router configured: only WPA2 (personal) with TKIP
    - D-Link DWA-645 802.11n-pcmcia with atheros chipset and working ndiswrapper driver (ath5k is not yet supporting this chipset)
    I cannot connect to the router and I'm not sure it's the linux-config or the router-config that is to blame (which makes troubleshooting a real pain), so here goes:

    That wpa_supplicant.conf looks dandy .
    Here's mine for reference:

    As you can see the first one is WPA2, the second one WPA. Of course you can mix but that will imho only increase possible incompatibilities.
    My netcfg setup:
    CONNECTION="wireless"
    INTERFACE="intel"
    HOSTNAME="hermes"
    # AP authentication
    SCAN="yes"
    SECURITY="wpa-config"
    WPA_CONF="/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
    WPA_OPTS="-Dwext -B"
    ESSID=*snip*
    # IP address
    IP="dhcp"
    DHCP_TIMEOUT=10
    N does not add any additional security (except that it makes WPA2 mandatory as far as I understood, I might be wrong about this). My router runs OpenWRT and I only intend to switch to N when I find a router that is stable on OpenWRT, and provides N performance and range (now you often have to resort to G MIMO drivers and stuff with OpenWRT on N models).
    hey!, thanks for your config there, now I have wifi using wpa2 connecting properly on a dell xps m1330.
    But I also found that if I didn't use netcfg to stop the profile manually, I couldn't reboot the system and after typing 'reboot' I think the wpa_supplicant is just killed or crashes and the system is stuck on '> Rebooting'. I had to use 'netcfg2 -d abc' to stop the profile then reboot.
