Hello All .... I have been using 128-Bit WEP with a single key for all 4 keys in the Linksys Access Points, and Bridges. Usually you can create a series of 4 keys from a pass phrase. When all 4 are created, I delete the other 3 and copy and paste the first key to the 3 empty slots, then I save the configurations.
I checked the other day for firmware updates and all the devices had the latest firmware version with release date codes of 2004 or 2005.
Does anyone know of how easy it would be to break into our network through these devices with 128-BIT WEP with a single key, and MAC Filtering???
I heard of WEP crackers that are available for the Linux OS and users with laptops with WiFi. Not sure of any for MS OS yet, but I am sure they are out there.
Hoping that the MAC filtering as a second line of defense is good enough or not, since WEP can be cracked....
Is it time to buy new hardware that uses WPA or a newer security measures since it looks like these Linksys devices that are wireless B and G may no longer be supported for security flaws etc, even if WPA capable?
Also ... Are there any tools out there to test or assess wireless security???
