emonPi and Krack Exploit

[richard]

I am running an EmonPi which is running a Krack vulnerable version of the wpa_supplicant. Is there a patch in the works or what is the process to upgrade without wacking all of my data etc.

Thanks!!

Ah you beat me to it! I’ve just posted:

emonPi KRACK fix

I’m sure many of you will have heard about the ‘KRACK’ vulnerability to the WiFi WPA2 protocol. This vulnerability affects almost all WiFi devices (routers & clients) including Raspberry Pi 3 / emonPi. The good news is that thanks to the hard work of the Linux Debian team (open-source ) the vulnerability has been fixed you can update your emonPi to apply the fix by connecting to emonPi via SSH then running: $ rpi-rw $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y $ sudo reboot Note: …

Yes, it’s easily patched thanks to hardworking Linux folks. Big for open source. Linux and ESP8266 community has released patches before Google.

Glyn -

Thank You. I knew about the patch I just wasn’t sure if it would affect anything else emonPi related if I did it that way. Thanks for the quick reply!

Applying the patch will update all packages installed on the emonPi. I’ve verified this will not cause any detrimental effects to any emonPi functions. Please report any issues.

Will do. I will plan on making a copy of the SD card first and running it this weekend. If I have any issues, I will let everyone know!
