Wireless router questions?
i have a wireless router installed on my house, and i've configured it to enter a WEP key whenever someone wants to connect and use my WI-FI. the question is, is it easy for someone to hack and use the connection without knowing the WEP key? i need to know how they do it and is there a way to prevent it?

AP sends the challenge text in plain text and the client encrypt the text and send back to the AP. anyone with airmon or wireshark can see the password in plain text.
