There are sites out there with many tools (as you know). Ultimately everything is crackable. Question is whether its worth it. Plus, is it worth cracking the hard way.


>Yep - aircrack has been around for a while. Most of the tools I've seen to do this are linux ones - some of the better tools can't be found via google though - or at least I haven't seen a couple of them made public yet.

>>Just Google WAP Hacking - many links. But it seems you are right Al depending on key length and the WAP type.

>>>That's news to me. My understanding is if you make you passphrase "strong" (i.e. no dictionary attacks) and at least 12 characters it is still pretty much infeasible, and if you use AES, even better. Do you have a link showing how these have been hacked?

>>>I'd think it would be pretty big news, and I've heard nothing about it.

>>>>WPA and WPA2 are hackable too - it takes about 20 min to an hour to do it.

>>>>>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.
