There are numerous attacks to crack wifi hashes. In theory, a properly implemented hash should not be crackable -- but theory often does not match the real world.


No, any hash will be crackable, it just depends on how fast.

A well designed authentication protocol shouldn't expose any hashes to be cracked in the first place.


Sure -- if you define the heat death of the universe as "how fast".


You can't guarantee that, and keep reasonable performance, if humans are generating the PSK


I agree, but you can certainly build a system where humans don't generate the key.


Then how do humans share said key?

QR codes and NFC tags etc. are nice, but not supported everywhere.
