Wireless router

[michael555]

What are the chance of someone getting my wep key on a wireless network?

Got told there a program what is called aircrack.

Info: can recover a 40-bit, 104-bit, 256-bit or 512-bit WEP key once enough encrypted packets have been gathered. Also it can attack WPA1/2 networks with some advanced methods or simply by brute force.


Would it be better going on wpa keys?

Yep, WPA affords a little more security ... but I would go for WPA2.

Do you have enemies that run Linux ... 'cos aircrack works very well using Linux.

I wouldn't worry about it, it would take me about 24hrs to 'crack' your keys, if I knew where you lived. Can't see any reason to do that though, unless you have a couple mill in your bank account. Do you? then give me the street name.

If you is worried then simply pull the plug.

oh, by the way ... your giving out your IP address ... **-**-**-***.cable.ubr02.wiga.blueyonder.co.uk ... I can narrow that down even further if you like.

The stars are what I put in to help "protect" you.



... ain't I a nice boy.

Un-plug from the Internet.

It's not safe out there you know.
