    Hello,
    
    This is my demo implementation of a specific WEP
    weakness outlined in the paper "Weaknesses in the Key
    Scheduling Algorithm of RC4" by Fluhrer, Mantin, and
    Shamir.
    
    A draft copy of their paper can be found at:
    http://www.eyetap.org/~rguerra/toronto2001/rc4_ksaproc.pdf
    
    My implementation only produces and attacks IVs that
    match the pattern [A+3, N-1, X] and does not attack
    other IVs that might produce weak keys. This is rather
    limiting in the real world, but works well with a
    static demo for validating the basic weakness.
    
    
    The tools are Perl based and composed of two parts:
    
    1 - WeakIVGen.pl <aa:bb:cc:dd:ee>
    Simulates some of the output data you might see from
    an access point.  It's actually designed to produce
    IV's within a specific range [3, 255, 0-255 to 7, 255,
    0-255 for 40bit WEP] with a single corresponding
    encrypted byte for each IV set.
    
    2 - WEPCrack.pl
    Takes the output from WeakIVGen.pl and tries to
    determine each byte of the secret key by the method
    outlined in section 7.1 of the Fluhrer, Mantin, Shamir
    paper.
    
    (Note: I'm a Perl hack, so don't criticize the code)
    
    To use:
    1 - run WeakIVGen.pl <aa:bb:cc:dd:ee>
    aa:bb....:ee is the secret key in decimal format,
    delimited with a ":".  This will create a output file.
    example - if your key is "abcde" [97 98 99 100 101]
    then run "WeakIVGen.pl 97:98:99:100:101"
    
    2 - run WEPCrack.pl
    This will read the output file from step 1 to
    determine the key
    
    
    Also available at Sourceforge:

    Enjoy,
