Just a general observation that it seems it's not really possible to brute force WPA2 anymore as manufacturers are putting longer more complex passwords on their devices as standard.
Take SKY for example, they're now using a 12 digit key, with a combination of A-Z, a-z and 0-9. That's ((26*2) + 10)^12 for a total of 3,226,266,762,397,899,821,056 possible combinations.
Which even on modern hardware at 1MH/s would take: 37,341,050 days to solve.
It seems to me the core weakness of WPA2 was the default key length, and the manufacturers seem to be finally catching up to this.
Thoughts?
