Well they are probably implementing something like orinoco's WEPplus where all the weak IVs are dropped. However this method is not totally safe. There are still other ways to crack WEP like the duplicate IV attack. However the above mentioned method is an additional step in security not a total solution.

He also said that their AP's have never been hacked. Is this true? Are they really secure or was this just marketing? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
