What 400 years? The only timescale that I can see in this thread is in my previous post, which is 3.5 * 10 to the power of 12 years. That's an awful lot longer than 400 years.
And what programs? WEP is relatively easy to crack (although still more difficult than MAC filtering) because the alorithm used to generate the encryption keys is borked. WPA2, which is what most people are recommending, is as far as I know still considered secure.
If you know of software that can crack WPA without using a bruteforce approach (which would be the only way of doing it in a reasonable time period with current (and probably future) technology) I'd like to know. Examples please!
