Hackable WEP now even More Hackable
WEP never was all that great an encryption scheme, but now its even better for hackers! What used to take a few minutes and a large number of packets can now be hacked in about three seconds. This time, the hacker was able to get a 104-bit WEP key using a low-end 1.7G Pentium M processor.
What's even better is that the hack is so pervasive that it could be coded into very small devices. Get rid of it in your network and switch to WPA at the very least.
