Offline PSK cracking via enabled IKE aggressive mode
Published Jul 21, 2025 · Updated Jul 5, 2026
Insecure IKE configuration in TRENDnet TEW-WLC100P 2.03b03 allows remote attackers to obtain a PSK hash for offline cracking. The bundled strongSwan configuration enables i_dont_care_about_security_and_use_aggressive_mode_psk, causing the responder to transmit a PSK-derived hash during IKEv1 negotiation. Network access to the IKE responder is sufficient; successful offline cracking compromises the pre-shared key rather than revealing it directly.
