You are not wrong. However, in this case, the point is to capture "WPA
handshake"(not WPA key) in order to brute-force for WPA key. This attack

Re: Android wireless accepts fake response (No interaction requires) (Vulnerability ?)

physical security is so strict, I cannot find my way to the area a
legitimate access point covers. I can change my attack vector to wait
for my client's employees to buy some coffee at the ground floor and,
therefore, I can steal "WPA handshake" for the employees. Then, I need
to spend some times cracking for WPA key. If I successfully crack the
key, I, now, can connect with Android devices of my client's employees
and they might think that they are connecting with their very powerful
access points of their workplace. At this point, I could launch
karmetasploit-style attacks in order to get malware into the device.
Every process here does not require me to get network my client's networks.

Android wipe unreliable

We have discovered that the "wipe" function on Android does not reliably
delete data on all devices. On a Nexus S running Android 2.3.6, we were
able to recover user data after running a "wipe" both using the "factory
data reset" from the menu and by wiping the device from recovery.

To recover data, the device must be rooted. This can be done after the
wipe by using e.g. the zergRush root exploit. (Note that the official
way which includes unlocking the bootloader must not be used - that one
does securely wipe the memory).

If you use locking, just look carefully at your Android phone screen
and you'll most likely already see the streak/smudge fingerprint
trace. An attacker only has to trace that in both directions and is
