[Airsnort-devel] Dictionary attacks on WEP keys

[Michael P. <mip...@in...>]

Hi,

I've been looking at the AirSnort program, and I'm considering
implimenting basic dictionary attack functionality into the cracking
mechanism.

This would mainly target SOHO networks who prefer to use a word instead
of a randomised hexadecimal value as their WEP key.

I'm wondering whether this has been suggested or attempted before, and
what stumbling blocks or fatal issues came across to stop development?

Note that I have performed rudimentary research into WEP itself, but it
is possible that I have missed an issue that would make a dictionary
attack unworkable.

Thanks,
