But would any hacker actually try to brute force it by 16 character of from length 1 to length 40? Maybe I only used 16 possible characters instead of 60, but it is a really long key.
And I suppose the the hash could be converted to 36 characters [a-z0-9] if I am really paranoid? 2007/3/30, Jeremy Huiskamp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

What I meant was that you're only choosing from [a-f0-9] when you could use characters from the whole alphabet, upper and lowercase as well as punctuation. I can't claim to understand how WPA can be broken but from Damon's post it sounded like brute force. You've saved an attacker from having to try the vast majority of possible keys at your length.
