Wpa passwords are safe if they are not in the attackers dictionary.

Not technicly true, you can have a password like: 8whf982q3h/3tni22 wn.32fnqi][&&b7y7bb7$$$%%F %fbu5vfubj\\|
and depending on your set up it can still be broken into.

The Implementation of your router in using the WPA may be broken, or you may be susepitble to other attacks, bascly this thought path "WPA is unbreakable" is alongthe lines of, we have a 6 inche steel door with a pick guard and biometrics. Three cameras and a keypad, you must pass all ofthis to get in, and the onside is secure as well. Noone can get in"

THats all great and swell, but I can break that with baby powder, gelatin, stump remover and sugar. Oh and a camera so I can look legit when I walk around inside. (take a picture of some guys uniform and copy it ofc).

Yes, that was an extremely odd analogy, but basicly, dont ever think you are safe.

The odds that you actually hit that string with a random number generating cracker is so high it is still basically uncrackable. Besides, like all passwords, it should be changed from time to time. So even if you did happen to hit the magic string, by the time you figured it out, the password has been changed.

Why wouldnt first AirCrack can check the WPA strength and from there crack MD5s and/or its password as well, I mean, what is the truth about the WAP ?

Here's what I use to configure my & client's wpa2 wifi:

Steve Gibson's Perfect Password facility
Code:
grc.com/passwords
Simply keep it on flash drive and copy/paste when needed. (I do have to admit
it's a pain on first configuration of game consoles, itouch, etc.)

BUT, I've yet to be successful in cracking my own app.

That's pretty much how I do it. And you're right, typing them into an iPod, or phone is a pain in the ass.
