===Decrypting===

Decryption often requires 2 tools; 1 for gathering packets and another for analysing the packet and determining the key. Gathering packets may be done through tools as [[WireShark]], [[Prismdump]] and cracking may be done through tools such as [[WEPCrack]], [[AirSnort]], [[AirCrack]], and [[WEPLab]].

When gathering packets, often a great amount of them are required to perform cracking. Depending on the attack used, 5-16 million frames may be required. The attack command itself, however, is surprisingly simple.
