From: marcel_k at web.de (Marcel Krause) Subject: Reading WEP-Key from Win 2000 Network Config Hi! I'm just playing around with my wireless LAN config in Windows 2000 Professional. There is some security dialog where you can enter your WEP key in 26 hex digits. You may enter them but not read them because they are masked with ***. I have a tool which reads the plaintext of such password boxes but in this case it is not applicable because the code surrenders as soon as the box receives the focus. Solution: enter sobe chars that are not hex digits. You will receive an error message. Select a different one of the 4 av/ keys. It will be shown in plaintext. Is this fresh news? Is it exploitable remotly, meaning without sitting in front of the box? Yours, Marcel
