I love how they're testing our wireless security knowledge. Next up, they'll be asking about WPA3 and how to hack into the company's fridge.

Password hashes? Nah, EAP-TLS is all about those client certs, baby. Gotta keep those hackers out with some serious encryption.

Using a public key cert for server auth is a good call, but I wouldn't call EAP-TLS 'moderate' security. That's like calling a diamond 'moderately shiny'.

EAP-TLS is great for secure remote access, but I'm not sure all manufacturers support it. Maybe they should have included an option about client certificates too.
