Am I missing something or is this a rather old article from around 2005. If I recall correctly The Auditor CD was superseded BackTrack when the Whax distro (formerly Whoppix) merged with The Auditor CD distro. Even before 2005 my tests on a 400 MHz laptop yielded a crack time of 8 mins or less, so much disinformation. That was an eye opening educational for me and prompted a change in attitude to wireless security.

Here is the original article from 2005: http://citynewslive.com/tech/fullstory-newsID-1363.html. I wonder why they republished it.

Last night I almost posted about this newstory and was going to LOL the wep comment. I thought the person wrote the story to sell his old gold card on ebay.
