Why would anyone use standard WEP? Isn't it super easy to crack & sniff?
2007-01-19 16:01:12 by Editor in Endpoint Security: Translating Policy Into Reality
 
Using standard WEP is akin to using a pad-lock & chain for securing a bicycle. It keeps the honest people honest. The argument given that WEP is so weak that it's not worth using, isn't completely valid. Using the bike analogy, would you stop using a lock & chain simply because anyone with a set of bolt cutters can defeat them in a second? Surely...not. The same goes for WEP.
