"Don't use WEP, say German Researchers"

Infoworld's article, "Don't use WEP, say German security researchers," discusses the paper "Breaking 104 bit WEP in less than 60 seconds" by researchers from Technische Universitat Darmstadt. The method "needs far less data to find a key than previous attacks: just 40,000 packets are needed for a 50 percent chance of success, while 85,000 packets give a 95 percent chance of success." TRUST researcher David Wagner has also worked in this area. See also the Slashdot discussion.
