Slashdot | Feds Hack Wireless Network in 3 Minutes: "xs3 writes At a recent ISSA (Information Systems Security Association) meeting in Los Angeles, a team of FBI agents demonstrated current WEP-cracking techniques and broke a 128 bit WEP key in about three minutes. {...} This article will be a general overview of the procedures used by the FBI team..'"
The article is here.
It seems that they were breaking the pass phrases used to generate the keys (and not the keys themselves). Which is good as long as you don't use passphrases (I use 128-bit hex that I made up - no generation for me!).
