MAJOR Wi-Fi Exploit Found! ALL Your Devices At Risk! (How "Krack Attack" Works)

Not sure how these two things even relate

Original post seems confusing

You couldn't connect to wifi
You then found out about krack attack (which is only exploitable by someone within wifi range)

Also not really sure what that video is but the title is completely overblown (I didn't watch the whole video, intro makes guy seem confused & I have been looking at this bug since before it went public).

Here is the website related to the research by the person who found the bug: https://www.krackattacks.com/
Here is the pdf: https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/ccs2017.pdf

Our main attack is against the 4-way handshake of the WPA2 protocol. This handshake is executed when a client wants to join a protected Wi-Fi network, and is used to confirm that both the client and access point possess the correct credentials (e.g. the pre-shared password of the network). At the same time, the 4-way handshake also negotiates a fresh encryption key that will be used to encrypt all subsequent traffic.

In a key reinstallation attack, the adversary tricks a victim into reinstalling an already-in-use key. This is achieved by manipulating and replaying cryptographic handshake messages.

God, that video was annoying.

So you are having issues connecting to your router, I'm assuming you mean the admin web console?

Maybe the OP has been hacked and his account is being used to spread spam.

Usual sort of thread from the OP ... has an issue, Google's, finds that there's an issue unrelated to the problem he is having ... whatever that actually is as like usual you just get a vague statement which only gets expanded upon if you try and help him as he says things suggested don't work (because of the vagueness in the original problem definition)
