Don't' waste your time.
Wep is crackable within seconds. No, I'm not exaggerating, *smile*.
Hopefully you can upgrade to WPA2 with AES+TKIP encryption. At least then,
if you have your TKIP cycle time set to 60 minutes, you're guaranteed a
certain modicum of security.
Feel free to email me off list if you'd like further info.
Take care,
Sina

Subject: WEP cracking
Hi all,
First off, let me state that my purpose in asking this is NOT
illegal, but rather educational. I have my own network here with
only three computers on it, two of which are mine, and only my
family lives here. I simply want to look at cracking the WEP key
that I set up some years ago to get a sense of just how it all
works, most definitely not to go around hacking into people's
networks. Whether you believe this or not is fine with me, but I
hope that someone takes my word on my reason for this project; if
not, I will not get any answers. :) Anyway, I have a few
questions:
1. What program(s) exist to break WEP encryption? Are some
better/more accessible than others?
2. Can I get into any trouble for downloading these programs?
3. Do any exist that are only command-line and run on Windows CE
4.2, for my BrailleNote? I like my bn best so try to do as much
on it as I can, and it can run command-line apps that take only
initial arguments and require no further input; I can then output
to a txt file.
Thanks for any answers. Again, I plan to only use this stuff on
my own network (and I am already the one that sets up things and
maintains it) and will not use this on any other network (my
phone plan has internet and open networks are all over the place,
so why break the law for nothing?) I just want to hammer this
point home after the software cracking thread a couple days ago;
my intention is not illegal, I just like networking stuff and
want to see this from a hacker's angle.
Have a great day,
Alex
