Sorry to hear that. Last time I glanced around, no one bothers with publishing methods for hacking into WEP any longer. Instead it has more the air of a contest. "How quickly can you hack past WEP?" At this point in time WEP strikes me as the security equivalent of a spring loaded door latch. Sure the door is "locked". But almost anyone who wants to get past it will do so as though the door was unlocked. Because I live where I do I often go out for short trips without bothering to lock a door of my house. Basically my security protocol is counting on the statistical likelihood that no will bother. I think that's pretty much the same security used on a the vast majority of home wireless setups at the moment. :-( -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
