I do agree that 128 bit could be turned up a lot more; But for the most part it's not easily deciphered "just like that!". It takes work, A lot of work with a very, very fast pc and patience! ;( I too, take security measures with my Linksys WRT54G and network in general pretty seriously.
You're behind the times. Try 20 minutes.
Really?!? :-) How? What sort of processor? I want to see how long it'd take with either my dual processor G5 or my AMD Athlon 64 setup or even my laptop (1.6 GHz Pentium M).
That was my point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!! There are some reports floating around the net with some groups claiming that they can do it. But, My interprotation is that, under certain controlled enviroments, they can crack it in under 2-4 hours. With some very good PC hardware. If you ever read any one of these reports. They never mention the hardware used. One extreme report claimed 30 minutes. If I were at my other workstation; I would love to supply the links. I do feel these claims are rather extreme. I tried replicating this with my Dual AMD MP 2200+, Tyan motherboard. I let it run for a week and a half with 128 bit; Well, quite frankly. I shut it down. It never really got anywhere on the decipher. I'm no expert on deciphering my own encryption, although; I did decipher my own 40 bit key. I recall that being done in 3.5 days with my dual AMD system. It's been a little over a year since. We can all agree on one thing. Unless we are running an IBM Blue Gene server to decipher and "One-Time Pad" encryption with everything. We would be 100% safe and 110% mad as well! Security is a big pain! :( JD
