Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security standard designed to provide wireless networks with comparable security to that of wired networks. Shared Key ...

For a number of third party wireless access points, AirPort 3.3 (released earlier this month) will not allow entry of a WEP key in the drop-down AirPort network selection menu, forcing users to enter ...

Does anyone know how common it is for wireless networks to use multiple WEP keys? And how do they cycle between them? Google shows references to using dynamic WEP keys, and tumbling WEP keys, but ...

Last week we showed you how to crack a Wi-Fi network's WEP key using a live CD and some command line fu. Today we've got other cracking options—but more importantly, clarification on the point of all ...

Q: An option in our access point interface calls for the configuration of four WEP keys. Why would you need four instead of one? Is it in order to share the encryption/decryption load across clients?

Wireless security protocol, WEP, is everywhere in Wi-Fi networks and just got quicker and easier for hackers to break into. Researchers have discovered a new way of ...

First item is a doozie. Trying to develop a standard Altiris image for notebooks to be deployed to over 50 schools across 5 states. It's much easier if the wireless is pre-configured as part of the ...

Even after the world has witnessed major Wi-Fi security incidents, such as Google’s Wi-Fi snooping controversy, a recent survey has indicated that WEP based Wi-Fi networks are still operational in ...

MacFixIt reader Guy Kuo reports a limitation in Apple's AirPort devices that prevents proper access to Windows-based wireless networks using a WEP slot key other than "1." In essence, if the wireless ...

A group of German cryptographic researchers (Erik Tews, Andrei Pychkine, and Ralf-Philipp Weinmann) at the cryptography and computer algebra group at the technical university Darmstadt in Germany have ...
