HI! I read some paper about the wep attack but i still have some problem , as we know the share key was 24 bits IV and compose with 40bits we chose the key, The dictionary attack is the method to guess the key 40 bits we chose or not and my concept is wright or not ? any document can give me the detail about the attack about the dictionary method.thanks

yes, thats exactly how it works.
24 bit (IV) + 40 bit (key) = 64 bit security
24 bit (IV) + 104 bit (key= = 128 bis security
