Actually, there's a bit more to it than that...
There are several weaknesses in WEP. One example:
If several bytes of any frame are a particular value, that frame and others like it
expose a part of the key. I had the math down at one point but couldn't tell you the
exact bytes and values but
I read a very good article on the problems with WEP several months ago
too. Basically, its a matter of traffic. The average home user isn't
going to generate sufficient traffic over a short time period (a few
days or weeks) to make WEP crackable. So unless someone is really
looking to get
Make them up...
128bit wep is broken up into two parts:
24bits of dynamic initilization vector (IV)
These are generated by the 802.11 hardware for each frame
104bits of the key which you create.
This is the same for every frame transmitted using 802.11 for a given
Excellent, that's what i was wondering. So is ther a science to
generating 'better' keys, or are all keys created equal?

If it is just standard WEP, and presumably WEP is a standard, 13 ASCII

I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure this out. I've been Googling
for the past hour, and everyone talks about what to do with WEP keys
once they're generated, but no one talks about how to actually generate
them. I want to generate two 128bit WEP keys, any pointers?
