Yes , it was accident. One of my clients had set AP mode instead of client on its wifi router... :-)

I know that WEP is unsafe. Broke into a WEP protected networks take less than 15mins. I use MAC authentication...
And WPA is also unbreakable :-)

Hi,

You are absolutely right with this... I administer a free WiFi
community AP and last month somebody created a network wit exactly
same ESSID and WEP key as me.

Could that possibly be an accident? Or was it some kind of intrusion /
data theft / identity theft attempt?

Anyway, is WEP not entirely discredited as trivially hacked with less
than a day of packet snooping and a bit of calculation?

Why aren't you using WPA or WPA2?
