Just done a search on wireless networks in our office building (quite a few eifferent companies, 2 out of 5 were unsecured! (ours is not one of them )

Also, isn't WEP fairly cack and WPA is agreed to be more secure?

WEP is unsecure in my eyes I have seen it been cracked within minutes and they werent trying hard

As Tony says - min is WPA PSK TKIP

I think for a suburban street WEP is fine, it can be cracked but it is a lot of pissing about and only worth the effort if there are no unsecured networks around and why bother anyway, I havent snooped around but many wouldnt be so principled, funny how he went bright red when I mentioned the photos !
