Re: 256 wep?

I remember reading somewhere that the new wep2 stuff uses a much larger IV
(something like 128 bits)... If they are in fact doing that, I think the
same attack will still apply, since there will still be ivs that can setup
the prga so the first byte is only still dependant on 2 or 3 values (for e^2
or e^3 probabilities, just a different B offset), but may decrease or
increase the probability of capturing a weak iv (will require some more
research). If you can find any more info on this, please forward it to the
list..

Thanks,
