Decrypting traffic using this option is not very user friendly. It works fine
but its use is not straight-forward, it requires users to read the
documentation in order to know how to input keys.
It would be nice is the screen was revamped and here is what I propose. It
would only change columns and it should have the following columns (and
validate the value for each item):
- Key type: WEP/WPA (combobox)
- ESSID: optional for WPA passphrase (and greyed in other cases)
- Key: Either WEP key/passsphrase/hash
And it would be nice to have the same tooltip that we have for each protocol
option in here explaining each option when hovering over column headers (or
field).
Or if it's too much work, add a link explaining how to add keys since it's easy
to make a mistake and switch SSID/Passphrase in WPA mode (and wpa-pwd/wpa-psk
can easily be confused for each other).
