Hello all, 

I have been fairly involved with network security for a few years, I have a
good understanding of how networks function, and how to secure them.  Also,
a bit of IDS experience, linux, etc. 

 

I have not been able to find a good resource for wireless information. I am
finding it hard to self-teach this stuff too..

My main question, how does WEP, WPA work.. how does a shared key function..
and the interaction between clients.. if anyone can spell this out briefly,
or point me to a good website I would appreciate it.

Thanks Much,
