WEP sucks

Filed Under Technical 

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while (because it's hilarious): FakeAP

If one access point is good, 53,000 must be better.
Black Alchemy's Fake AP generates thousands of counterfeit 802.11b access points. Hide in plain sight amongst Fake AP's cacophony of beacon frames.

I love the word cacophony.

Anyway, I found Fake AP via this page on tomsnetworking.com, which describes how the feds [and of course, leet hax0rs] are able to bust 128-bit WEP keys in just minutes. That's funny too. I found *that* page via 62nds.com, the authors of Windizupdate [mentioned on the forums here, prior to my site's shift into a blog]. Their site is kind of weird, and contains basically useless, archaic information about old viruses, how to make Grolier's Encyclopedia 7.0 for Windows 3.1 work in Windows 95, and other drivel, but Windizupdate is definitely a gem on their site.

So we should all be using WPA now (not WPA-PSK).
