And to think I'm going to be going into the networking industry when I get out of high school.

LMFAO.. That was not a flame, not even close to an embering piece of charcoal..
But if we can keep you out of the networking industry by flaming you, I think we are doing the entire networking industry a friggin' big favour.

And for the record, that wasn't a flame either. That was just stating the obvious.

Wow. I really don't know what I did to piss you off this much, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry.

Oh, you won't keep me out of the networking industry. I never said that.

If that doesn't work, I can simply keep changing the network key until the person attempting to gather IV's gives up.

Basically, if everyone here wants to flame and not help, then don't reply. I'll just find help some other way.

I'm still not sure how youre ability to crack WEP is going to accomplish anything. If you search, you'll know what the signs are of an attempted attack. Unless you're planning on having a computer setup and running 24/7 to monitor your little network, there isn't much point because you're probably not going to catch the person that's doing it.

Why bother with WEP? Why just read up on the best practices for securing a network and implement those? I do network stuff for a living and never, not once felt the need to crack WEP to ensure that a network was 'safe'.

You have no idea how much of a headache I have right now after the past two days. So trust me, what you went through is NOTHING.

Can't argue there.

You aren't the Pope either. What you think isn't Divine law. Nor is this the only place to seek help when it comes to wireless security.

Now, I'm done posting on this topic.

As I stated before, you don't need to crack WEP to secure a network, I think it's just assinine to believe that you do. Why waste your time? Why not just read up the proper way to secure a network and follow that method?

Oh yeah, if you think you're the first person to stop by with this EXACT story about cracking WEP, you're wrong. You were probably the first person today. About the third this week, and probably the 10th this month. So you'll excuse us if we don't exactly believe that your intentions are 100% honest.
