Not strictly true! Theoretically it is possible to obtain fR3D!&29$zzd via the classic brute force method. It's just computationally infeasible at the moment (sort of like 3 years ago when 9,000kps was computationally infeasible). There is no reason to think this is likely to change in the near future, but then again no one had any reason to believe that DES would ever be broken.

In answer to the OP question: A tool like CUPP might be able to profile up the correct password combination to the system. If you use CUPP and fill in as much information about yourself as possible you might find that the resulting dictionary will crack your WPA.

Cracking WPA in 15 minutes is plausible, you just have to hit the correct word in your dictionary (or have a beast set up like pureh@te).
