Hopefully all you guys protect your Siemens Gigaset WiFi networks with either WPA or at least WEP. But beware of Erik Tews. This guy can hack your network within minutes. Tews is the guy able to crack WEP in even less than one minute. This was last year. At this time he advised people to change to WPA ASAP.
Now Erik claims that he can crack WEP in 12 to 15 minutes. He want to proof this next week at the PacSec Conference in Tokyo. If this turns out to be true we really have to think about returning to LAN networks...

You may mean WPA where you wrote "WEP in 12 to 15 minutes"?
Breaking WEP is easy, download aircrack-ng, read the fine manual, run it and done.
I have yet to see equivalent easy-to-install and easy-to-use WPA1 and WPA2 tools. If this Erik person has written such a program then that sure would be interesting.
Thank you very much for the great information.
Thanks

If you use a standard hacking wifi card (usb wifi, supported by OS) and you use the latest Backtrack, it is possible to hack WPA kinda fast. This is also possible with Aircrack-ng but it aint supported.
On backtrack are a lot more tools and I'm sure the next version of it will support WPA2 hacking.
It became useful first to distinguish among different kinds of IP vpn based on the administrative relationships, not the technology, interconnecting the nodes. Once the relationships were defined, different technologies could be used, depending on requirements such as security and quality of service.
