Introduction.
I was interested in wireless security since I have read some articles in “Xakep” magazine several years ago. They were saying “Most wireless networks are vulnerable and can be cracked within a day”. It was quite embarrassing that such a security threat can exist and really wanted to check whether it was true or not. Those years I did not not have any piece of needed experience. The task to crash test WEP stayed in my mind for years. Recently I have tried it.
