ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

KRACK

Kracks are like burglars who sneak into your house through the windows and doors without you knowing. They are experts at breaking and entering into your personal space, and they are very good at it. Similarly, in the world of computers, Kracks are hackers who know how to sneak into your home Wi-Fi network without you realizing it.

Just like a burglar can pick a lock or find a hidden key, hackers use their knowledge of Wi-Fi networks to find a way in. They can steal your sensitive information such as passwords and personal data from your devices by secretly intercepting the data you send and receive from your Wi-Fi network.

This is because some Wi-Fi devices have a weak point in their security that hackers know how to take advantage of. This weak point allows Krack hackers to secretly gain access to your Wi-Fi network and steal your private information.

To stay safe from Kracks, it's important to use strong, secure passwords for your Wi-Fi network and to regularly update your Wi-Fi devices with the latest security patches available. It is also important to only use trusted, secure websites when sending sensitive data and to never share personal information with strangers over Wi-Fi networks.
