How can you protect from Hacking WPA?

Hacking WPA - If you are here to learn how to hack WPA, you are on the wrong place. Here I will learn you how to protect your wireless network.
I have written a lot on Home-WLAN about a WPA. I have encouraged you to use WPA instead of WEP. But many of you have heard something about cracked WPA and that WPA is not safe any more.

Here are some useful advices on how to protect your wireless network from WPA hacking.

So the secret of your unbreakable WPA is very simple:

1) When you use WPA - authentication PSK with TKIP encryption in your home or small office:
- Shorten the timing of TKIP in wireless routers, so that keys are refreshed in less then 2 minutes.
- Do not put for pre-shared key world from dictionary and that is short in length. Use instead 63 characters password that is combination of random characters including special symbols.

2) In enterprise enviroment do not use WPA - authentication PSK with TKIP encryption. Use WPA with AES (Advanced Encryption System) encryption.
