Do you guys know of any programs that can bypass WEP encryption for Windows. The only one I know of is airsnort.

Tools like this aren't just for bad. They are very useful for testing your own networks.

Sure there is a reason to TRY to crack your own WEP.
Maybe you are running a risk analysis and need metrics and documentation to prove to Upper Management that security provisions need upgrading/funding.
Maybe you want to see how long it takes to crack your WEP key. While WEP can be cracked, it should take longer with a longer key. Even though it can be cracked, length of time involved might make it secure ENOUGH.
I am sure we can come up with more reasons. Try thinking in a bigger scheme before you rip someone there slick.

That's what I was thinking as well. "Looking at the numbers" and documentation are everything. Management likes something in their hand that they can look at and quantify, not just a "Yeah, it can be cracked."

How do you know if WEP is enabled if you can see an AP with your wireless card?
