Hi all We've been asked to perform a vulnerability assessment for a company that has a Wireless LAN. The W/LAN is running WEP with a random key generated, rather than a dictionary word. Are there any tools out there that can brute force a WEP. Take this example. A person parks the car in the car park and sniffs the air waves with a product like NetStumbler. He discovers the W/LAN but with WEP. Is there a tool he can use to discover the WEP key (possible by brute force) If there isn't such a tool, how does this sound for an idea. Run a app that starts at binary 0's and counts upto 128bits of 1's For each sequence listen to see if there are any sensible packets or even send out a DHCP discover request to see if you get a reply. This would then possibly give you the WEP key.
