WEP cracking for dummies

"For those who still don’t think it’s a major problem to run WEP encryption on a wireless LAN, this is your final warning. Humphrey Cheung of Tomsnetworking has released a tutorial that can essentially be summed up as 'WEP cracking for dummies'. "

"Any WEP based wireless LAN can be cracked in a matter of minutes. The current set of attacks are all implemented in a simple all-in-one CD that is available for free download over the web and it employs the latest packet injection techniques and advanced statistical analysis tools to rapidly recover WEP keys. ...Corporations and homes must protect themselves with a minimum of WPA TKIP encryption but preferably use WPA2 AES encryption."
