Is your WEP the cat’s pajamas?
Engadget thinks that WEP isn’t quite the cat’s pajamas anymore when it comes to WiFi security, I’d agree based on a recent development by the folks at Darmstadt University of Technology. They have managed to extract a 104-bit WEP key in three seconds, using a 1.7GHz Pentium M processor. It takes under a minute to collect the necessary 40,000 – 85,000 packets of data, and the hack could potentially be carried out by a strolling cellphone or PDA user. I may have to switch to WPA!!!
