Breaking 104 bit WEP in less than 60 secondsAdded by Papergrl
Description:
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a protocol for encrypting wirelessly transmitted packets on IEEE 802.11 networks. In a WEP protected network, all packets are encrypted using the stream cipher RC4 under a common key, the root key1 Rk. The root key is shared by all radio stations. A successful recovery of this key gives an attacker full access to the network. Although known to be insecure and superseded by Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), this protocol is still is in widespread use almost 6 years after practical key recovery attacks were found against it. In this paper we present a new key-recovery attack against WEP that outperforms previous methods by at least an order of magnitude.
