which one is more secure for wlans, WEP with 128 bit, or WPA-PSK?
WPA-PSK is more secure, but also dependant on the pass phrase. I prefer random strings with ~50 bytes, You can get those easily from base64 coded email attachments. This is also a great source for initial user passwords ;-)
Funny idea ;-) By far less complicated as using random data and md5.
And better, because md5 outputs only 0-9,A-F ... The /dev/random and tr approach is of course better (in theory), but I just can't remember that command when I need to ;-) Usually, base64 encoded data has enough randomness if you look a bit for it ...
