  1. how do i crack a WEP password? by boxlight · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'd like to move my iMac around the house. I don't have a wireless router but there's about 6 wireless access points I can see in my neighbourhood alone. There's all password protected though -- probably with WEP.

    Can anyone point me to a simple tutorial on cracking a WEP password? I really just want to check my email, I wouldn't abuse my neighbour's internet access with anything malicious.

    Thanks!

    You sir, are wrong. You are also a dick. Its not often people are so clearly wrong that I dont have to bother explaining.

    Personally I find it quite relaxing - I can just insult you (dumbass) and your mother (whore) until I get bored.

    Haha. Suck it, retard.
