You see, to me it's just a big mess of encrypted traffic, but you obviously have some secret technique (or should that be "t3kni|<" ?) for breaking it trivially. If you can't, you've just shown it has some security advantage. Which it has. Oh, and I think you meant that you were guessing WEP is completely UNsecure, and not INsecure. If it was insecure, it would be asking us all to hug it more often. -- Paul Robinson
