Re: ISS Security Advisory: Wired-side SNMP WEP key exposure in 802.11b Access Points

Orinoco AP1000
read passswd: 'public'
read/write password: 'public'

Network Name: WaveLAN Network
Encryption: Disabled 


something's I noticed from breifly looking at the AP.

SNMP is enabled by default, the client and the AP speak via plain text... I
am pretty damn sure you can get the WEP key from this... Fireup tcpdump,
and watch the interaction between the windoez client and the AP.
