    I broke WEP in 7 hours by forcing new IVs. By forcing new IVs you are
    inducing a limited denial of service attack.
    
    If you have the dictionaries I mentioned earlier and reasonable amount of
    skill, you can normally crack the WEP in about 20-30 seconds.

    A side question for the group on this topic,
    
    Has anybody successfully used WEPcrack or Airsnort to crack a 128bit key?
    I've never tried.
    
    thanks

    Ian,
    
    Try WEPcrack or Airsnort. Both are for Linux, but both are very nice tools.
    WEPCrack was the first to crack WEP, but Airsnort seems to be a bit more
    user friendly. I have not seen a solution for windows. Happy Cracking!

    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.
    
    Any comments
    
    Ian....
