Harden Gargoyle against new WPA2 Exploit Krack?

Post by sys192 »

I'm worried about the latest WPA2 Key Reinstallation Attacks/KRACK, is there a way I can harden my Gargoyle installation against this? Or do I have to wait for a patched wpa_supplicant to be included in a coming Gargoyle update?

Thanks, sys

OK as far as I know and I am not a dev but, a fix will be comming soon. From what i read we just need to bump OpenWRT to latest cc.

A new build will be forthcoming.

Note that this vulnerability really targets the client not the AP, so your next move should be to update all of your clients as fixes become available.

This may be a stupid question, I see the new build to patch KRACK but I do not want to move to 1.9x as its still not as stable as 181. Will there be a KRACK patch for 181?

don't be fooled

At this development stage 1.9.x is the most stable gargoyle firmware ever.

I wouldn't be surprised if 1.9.x is pushed out as 1.8.3
