If you didn't already know that WEP was vunerable, you probably shouldn't try anything like this.

In terms of relevant news for this site, attacks against WEP are 8 years old. Why do we care about this anymore? The types of tutorials are a dime a dozen.

This was my reaction when I saw the article come up.

Cracking WEP is rather old news. If they were doing an article for any reason other than just trying to drag a few users to their site, they should have done an article on WPA/WPA2 cracking (http://forums.remote-exploit.org/bt4beta-howtos/23208-aircra...) . WEP cracks have been out for a while, CUDA (or the AMD equivelent) cracking is far more recent, and a decent tutorial on it would do a lot of good.

the demographic for Lifehacker would probably find that a bit hardcore :)
