May 13, 200917 yr Like Denis stated, re-secure your wireless. Make the WEP key about 10-20 characters long so that it makes hackers harder to access it. No no no, do NOT use WEP, as I stated earlier it can be broken in about 10 mins easily. Go for WPA, it's much more secure. If I remember correctly it's done using bruteforce (which can take hundreds of years) or a dictionary attack (only works if you use a word that is in the dictionary). If you password is long and isn't in the dictionary, you are safe. Sorry but I don't wish to appear condescending but you really have no idea what you're talking about. I have cracked a friends wifi using WEP as a test in 25 minutes, and she was using a key of 26 random characters, passwords do not enter into the equation. And before anyone asks, I am not going to tell what tool I was using to do this as I really do not endorse the practice of breaking security. I misread WPE as WPA. No need to act all high and mighty because of it. By the way taking 25 minutes to enter a few commands is really long. I complete the whole procedure in about 3 minutes.
