Hey guys,

I recently discovered a problem with the wifi at university.

It's secured with WPA2 Enterprise;

Tunneled TLS with PAP, username/password.

It seems like there is no encryption enabled 'cause the wifi chip cannot use it.

Comments?
 
Hmm odd, I can successfully use WPA2 Enterprise with LEAP authentication at work no issues..

I have not tried tunneled TLS though..
 
Just tested again. It's the same with PEAP / MSCHAP v2.

@ThrashyMG: How many bits has your encryption ?

Code:
# sudo iwlist wlan0 encryption
 
...

I just discovered, that it shows the same on my home wifi which is WPA2 PSK. :unsure:

...

It seems like I have no encryption at all.

...

Please tell me I am wrong!

Can anyone reproduce that on any encrypted wifi?
 
Have you downloaded the right Certificate from Telecom? In our uni we have to use DT-ROOT-CA-2.der
