Default Gone in 120 seconds: cracking Wi-Fi security
WEP is dead ( but hey anyone in the know knew that didn't they :P )

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/05...ack_interview/

When WEP was compromised in 2001, the attack needed more than five million packets to succeed. Last month, three researchers, Erik Tews, Andrei Pychkine and Ralf-Philipp Weinmann developed a faster attack (based on a cryptanalysis of RC4 by Andreas Klein), that works with ARP packets and just needs 85,000 packets to crack the key with a 95 per cent probablity. This means getting the key in less than two minutes.
