hi ya

There is software and hardware that lets you cycle your WEP key.  You will
probably want to change your WEP key every 10 minutes or so, since it takes
about 10 minutes to crack it.

yes .... and therefore, all data sent across wireless should be sent with ssh2

give them the wep key, so what, all they will see is ssh2 encrypted traffic

if one trusts ssh2 encrypted data on wireless, it should be good enuff
for wireless traffic too

with wireless, the cracker has to be with a block or two their target
to pick up what they want
        - even if they have the spy satellites beaming on your house/office,
        they might not be able to pick up your itty=bitty dlink/linksys
        signals due to its low power output

with wired connectivity, the cracker can be anywhere in the world
