Tools for determining WEP strength?

802.11b · 09-09-2003

Wasn't sure where else to post this question:

Anyone know if there is a tool, or a technique, out there to scan an access point and determine what WEP encryption strength it is using?

I haven't seen anything to date - but we have a client that is interested in auditing their wireless network to see if all the admins have implemented 128-bit as a matter of policy. Of course there is the manual way to accomplish this, but if a tool existed, it might be easier.

Thanks-

The only thing I've heard about is Dstumbler, part of the BSD-airtools, it's supposed to be able to detect 40 bit.

Here is how their doing it.
