"Tools that changed everything On August 8th, 2004, a hacker named KoreK posted new WEP statistical cryptanalysis attack code (soon to become a tool called chopper) to the NetStumbler forums. While chopper is functional, it is not currently maintained, and the attacks have since seen better implementations in aircrack and WepLab. However, the KoreK attacks change everything. No longer are millions of packets required to crack a WEP key; no longer does the number of obviously "weak" or "interesting" IVs matter. With the new attacks, the critical ingredient is the total number of unique IVs captured, and a key can often be cracked with hundreds of thousands of packets, rather than millions." ------------------------------------------------------ Frank Keeney Wireless Antennas, Cables and Equipment: http://www.wlanparts.com Co-Founder, Southern California Wireless User Group: http://www.socalwug.org IM: Yahoo: wlanparts, AIM: wlanparts, MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] VOIP: Skype: wlanparts, FWD: 289372
