Next-Gen Wi-Fi Security - WPA3 Explained

WPA3 looks like it will greatly enhance the security of your Wi-Fi connections - but how does it work?

I was hoping for a technical explanation on how WPA3 works :-/

Damn. Now I can't sit in the corner of Starbucks with Wireshark running.

Could this protect my ms paint projects

I’m glad I found this channel I just started working at Best Buy and you’re are just feeding me the necessary info :)

Layered networks and whitelists are still the best way to keep safe at the home and using the public wifi to do anything sensitive will carry a risk. Most hackers don't "pull your info from the air". Rather they port knock on a given device to "see" the packets that are being sent (this is where layering your networks come in handy... the more firewalls you have, the harder it is to get to the device). Equally important is the whitelist on a router. This allows (or bans) certain devices to connect by MAC address which means that you can have a network that everyone can see and know the password but depending on MAC permissions can or cannot connect to. I pull that one on the kids all the time to make sure chores are done before they can get wifi.

I love learning with you guys. Great video... I just wonder why 36 people so far would dislike this video... There is literally nothing to dislike.

Maybe I missed it but there was no mention of backward compatibility or coexistence with WPA2, if I get a router supporting WPA3, can I have it enabled and still have WPA2 devices connect to it?

I am not handshaking with you until you use a hand sanitizer .. both hands... and use two factor authentication. Because... I know where your hands have been... (on the internet).

that robber with chicken thighs walking toward the router is gold! i don't know what your feeding dennis but i want some too!

OMG THANK YOU! Ive been waiting for this!

The RollerCoaster Tycoon "notification" sound is a fantastic nod to my childhood and I never want it to stop being used in LTT videos ❤️ lol

[andre_julius]

Nice use of the Roller Coaster Tycoon sound effects :)

[Jrbski]

Thanks for this quickie. Don't need this for my sec+ exam (still studying) but its good to know.

[mockzero]

Love those Rollercoaster Tycoon sound effects. Takes me back.

[PokerADHD]

Nice video! Also where did you get that shirt from??

[ReQuiem_]

Shut up and take my money!
I've been eagerly awaiting hardware support for WPA3 and 802.11AX for awhile. Thanks by the way, for the WPA3 video, and retroactively, the 802.11AX video. I'm a network engineer and avid follower of enterprise/SMB networking sites like ServeTheHome, SmallNetBuilder, Level1Techs, and podcasts like TWIET. But I really appreciate you guys' "intro for dummies" style approach to a wide variety of random tech nooks.
How else are noobs going to get into this stuff!?!

[Silberschleier]

Funny that this video is published, right at the time when I try to learn about the WPA standards for my network security lecture

[connorconnor]

I like your 'HOLY BALLS!' t-shirt.

This in the future could cause headaches in my helpdesk job >_<

I tried to put my password "team 10".... it was too weak
