KRACK WiFi vendor vulnerability liststeemCreated with Sketch.

So we are one day past the public announcement of the KRACK Wifi WPA2 security vulnerability - that pretty much blows wide open all security for WiFi networks and devices. I thought I would go looking to see if my home router is going to have a patch for the firmware. Check the manufacturer site - they don't even mention KRACK. I found a few people on their support forum asking about it but no response from the company at all. Sent their support an email asking about it.

What else can I do?

Oh yes, check Google for news of an Android update...

Googling around I found reports that Google (and Apple) say a fix is being beta tested and will be available "in a few weeks". I'm hoping that means it'll be part of the monthly security update - although occasional they have pushed out important security updates ASAP. I'd say this is VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

During that search I found this monster list that tells you if your device is vulnerable and has a link to any vendor specific statement.

Vendor Information for VU#228519

I haven't found a simple way to paste the list in here, plus it'll be out of date pretty quickly I guess so here is a snapshot, visit the link above to get the latest data.
