-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Public airwaves aside,if you are cracking WEP passwords and using that knowledge to,presumably,get work,expect that particular entity to ,most probably,notb play nice. Imagine the same scenario for you:(Picks up phone:"Hello?""Hi,we are a network security outfit looking for work and just happened on to your network today,and because you are using WEP,we cracked your passwords and had total access to your network.Now,since we are a network security firm,we thought it would be a nice gesture to point out your weakness's and flaws in your security posture.How about I send a rep to talk to you?"Tomorrow OK?"." Rep goes to for appointment and promptly gets arrested.Next thing you know,everything related to said case is being subpoenaed,including the laptop that carried out the WEP crack to begin with.Fingers start pointing in all kinds of directions at once("I didn't know my finger could bend like that,huh.").many people start to feel the room getting exceptionally warm,wherever they may be,and............. Be very careful treading in others' swimming pools.There may be sharks(lawyers)waiting to have something to chew on.
