For a while I was hoping they meant wi-fi. We sure as hell need WPA3, with some decent security for a change (for example, preventing everyone who knows the key from snooping and injecting traffic or getting rid of this DEAUTH nonsense).

As someone who until recently knew next to nothing about networking, it's been a real eye opener reading up on it and discovering how shitty everything is. WPA supplicant because people didn't think to make it secure in the first place. Deauth "attacks" - well, if you can even call it an attack. "Kick everyone off this network now".."ok!". "Uhh.. how do I stop that?" "You can't". Some real bozos put this shit together, didn't they? Can we start again please, and do it properly this time?
