Hey there,
Here is link to all the wireless tools that you would ever want:
http://neworder.box.sk/codebox.links.php?&key=wireless
And have a read on security focus ... they have just posted the 2nd
installment of creating a wireless security policy. Besides describing
aspects relative to policy it should give you some ideas on better to secure
your users wireless Lans.
Of course WEP is not the most secure thing in the world, but used in
conjunction with other security methods you could make life for a hacker
difficult.

Remote users in my company have been begging for permission to use wireless
NICs in their laptops for awhile now. When they are not on the road, most
of them work from home and would like to be able to use their laptops
anywhere in their house.
Due to our industry and business requierements, we have to document every
process and method used to access our data and prove that we've tested the
security of our data.In order to let the users go wireless I have to show
that I've tested the security on a wireless network.
Our idea is to let the users buy wireless routers to connect to their
cable/dsl routers and then wireless PCMCIA or USB cards on the laptop. We
would implement 128 bit WEP security to prevent unauthorized access. I
realize that WEP does not provide for stringent security, but we feel that
by forcing users to change their WEP key regularly we can meet our
requierements.
My question is, how do I test WEP and document wether or not it's secure?
Any way to sniff for WEP keys, or to brute force attack a WEP session? If
there is, how hard is it to set up? How much of a risk of a wireless
connection with WEP enabled to be comprimised other than a dedicated, brute
force attack?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Cesar
