WiFi Protected Setup too easy to be good? Yep.

Just like Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols says in his blog entry of 28 December, 2011, I, too never liked WiFi Protected Setup. It is one of those solutions designed to take something reasonably easy and make it idiot-proof. When it comes to security, unless you know how something works behind the scenes (or unless it has been around long enough to be proven by time and enough eyeballs), you trust it at your own peril.

The bottom line here is for anyone responsible for a network that contains even one access point that may have WiFi Protected Setup as a feature needs to make sure that this feature is turned off. And know that it is normally turned ON by default on devices that it is included on.
