OSX and I assume iOS does do detection of this. If you connect to an AP that was WPA2 encrypted in the past, and has the same name but no encryption now, it gives you a big scary warning and bails out.


I guess this is to combat password stealing attempts in particular, and not AP spoofing in general, since you could easily make the new AP WPA2?


If have to look it up, but I don't think the AP would get the plaintext password during the WPA2 key exchange.

One could always set-up a Ja-sager with WPA2.
