so, let me get this straight....
...you hacked a 128bit WEP key from a mobile rig. In your car. In the early days of wireless.

One of three things is therefore true:

1) You were a hacking GOD and should be employed by GCHQ immediately.

2) You sat in your car for many days brute-forcing the AES encryption that someone had in the days when 3DES was new.

3) You are completely full of crap, and are trying to big yourself up.

Hmm...I wonder which may be true!

Neither are correct.
1. Im not a hacking god. I dont know that much about hacking to be honest.
2. I didnt have to sit brute forcing the connection for hours. With the right software and a good connection you can break a 128bit wep in about 5 mnutes.
3. You are a complete twunt.

2. yes, you can today. Not "in the early days of wireless".

Remember
that the "Early Days of Wireless" were a lot further back than most people think. You could have done this easy enough in "the early days of Sky and the like giving out WiFi enabled routers".

Or a bit earlier if the car-puter was really quite impressive.

Wardriving is fun!
