Re: wlan ids

[Jérôme Tytgat <j.tytgat () energis fr>]

Are you talking about wep encryption ?

I think it should work as it does not need a lot of ressources
to be decrypted...

The Wlan IDS will need to recognize you wlan network (SSID / WEP
passphrase, maybe MAC ACL), but in fact it's directly at the
level of the network card these things are done, so I don't see why it
should not work.
The IDS will not even "know" that encryption is on...

That's my 2 cents.
