This is old news for any net admin, but no-one should any longer be using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security on their wireless networks.

A new attack makes it possible to determine WEP keys even when your laptop is not within range of your corporate network: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/18/cafe_latte_wi-fi_attack/

WEP is actually worse than useless, as it gives you a false sense of security. Switch to WPA or WPA2 instead. If anyone you know is still using WEP, do them a favour and let them know.
