Improve the security of WiFi networks using Apple’s Airport Base Station,It allows you to periodically rotate your WEP key to make it harder to crack.<\/p>\n
The package consists of a master and client. The master sets the base station password periodically to something new. The new password is based on a SHA1 hash of the date and a shared secret. The client simply displays what the current key is. The readme file is *much* more detailed than this page.<\/p>\n
It’s based on the Airport Base Station Configurator so SaferWep should work with the same range of products.
\nThe key is currently generated by taking a shared password and computing a SHA1
\nhash of the password with the current system date. The current scheme generates
\nkeys that are good for only the current day based on my naive assumption that it
\nwould take longer than a day of sniffing to get a 104-bit WEP key. If this is a
\nsilly assumption then the software should be modified to allow for creating keys
\nbased on the hour of the day as well.<\/p>\n
CURRENT KEY CREATION METHOD<\/p>\n
sharedSecret = “thePassword”
\ncurrentDate = “2003-8-28”
\nsha1(sharedSecret + currentDate) = ca7e452415af92df50ebb4d0d8d59b5817b41a00
\nThe 104-bit key would be ca7e452415af92df50ebb4d0d8
\nThe 40-bit key would be ca7e452415af9<\/p>\n
