    How secure is your WLAN?

    The feds recently demonstrated hacking a 128-bit WEP encrypted WLAN in 3 minutes. Evidently, they did this without a dictionary attack but by some other means.

    If they want to crack my key, power to them.
    If they need my bandwidth, hey! Anything I can do to help.
    My key is there for the neighbors.

    128-bit is easy to crack; I use WPA at home. The keys are supposed to change fast enough that by the time you crack one, a new one is in use.
