| Nov 4, 2020 at 0:02 | comment | added | Matt Manuel | I'm not as concerned about someone hacking the hardware on my desk to get the Wifi password. I'm concerned about the code-sharing implications of hard-coding a password into the source. Is there a way to read from environment variables instead of hard-coding for example? Then I can share my sketches on github without concern. | |
| Aug 14, 2020 at 3:43 | comment | added | Dilum Ranatunga | On the avoiding hard-coding front, I just found this: instructables.com/id/… It basically creates its own network to address the bootstrapping issue. Which makes this a nice way to package a device for someone else to use, too. | |
| Aug 6, 2016 at 9:27 | comment | added | Gerben | You'll have to physically secure the Arduino device, as the attacker has to have physical access to the Arduino to get to the password. In corporate environments, they would set up a separate wifi network, with a firewall, to reduce the risks when that network is compromised. | |
| Aug 5, 2016 at 19:49 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | Any system which needs to communicate a password between an MCU and a standard wifi module in cleartext is readily open to attack by anyone who has physical access just by sniffing the serial, spi, or whatever channel in between them. The tools to do so sell for $6-24. | |
