I heard WEP is so weak, you could crack it with a calculator and a piece of chewing gum. Talk about security through obscurity!

C is definitely false. WEP is much weaker than Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or WPA2, which provide much better security.

A and D are correct, WEP uses the RC4 algorithm and has a short IV field, making it vulnerable to attacks. B is also true, as tools like AirSnort can be used to crack WEP keys.

I'm not sure about C) and D), but I think A) and B) are definitely true. WEP has some vulnerabilities that make it less secure than other protocols.

I agree with Heike, A) and B) are correct. WEP does use the RC4 encryption algorithm and tools like AirSnort can discover WEP keys.
