i got bored tonight and, for some reason, decided to get out my trusty old dell laptop that has fedora linux (and, coincidentally, aircrack-ng) on it. as i was getting it, i seen my netgear wg511t wireless card that i bought specifically because it supported packet reinjection. fun ensued.using the somewhat new “ptw method”, i was able to crack a neighbor’s 128-bit wep key in as little as 96 seconds. as i noted on twitter, “even after all the times i’ve done it, i still get such a thrill out of cracking wep”.
