Anyone with a packet sniffer can get your WEP password by collecting enough packets (as little as 5 minutes if you are sending a lot of packets). MAC address locking is the same thing, every packet moving on your network has a MAC address listed along with it. Its not hard to spoof a MAC address. No broadcast SSID? Oh yeah, network stumblers will find them too...




I don't use WEP I use WPA, thanks for playing. Same thing for my sisters network I secured. Yeah I suppose someone who REALLY knows what they are doing might be able to crack it, but if I have someone like that (eg the gov't) looking after my data, I have bigger problems.
