Warning: Use of PEAP-MSCHAPv2 to connect to the Virginia Tech network is strongly discouraged by the Linux and Unix Users Group due to attacks that allow all traffic to be decrypted with a 100% success rate.

PEAP-MSCHAPv2 is a wireless authentication scheme used by Virginia Tech as an alternative to EAP-TLS for connections to VT-Wireless.

At DefCon 20 in July 2012, an attack was announced for MSCHAPv2 that allows the protocol to be cracked quickly with a 100% success rate.[1] Use of MSCHAPv2 is strongly discouraged.

Set your remote access passphrase

Regardless of what software you use to establish your connection, you must first set your remote passphrase by going to my.vt.edu→Settings→Change Network Password.
