I cracked my WPA network in 36second on an old P3 1Ghz laptop which i will 
explain.  But people think that WPA is secure which it is as long as you have 
a good password
BT home hubs use 64bit encryption out of the box total waste. When they use 
such a low encryption programs can easily get the key.Kismet is one of them.

I will bring my Netgear router 2 laptops one running a freely available 
security distro which if you see how big there community there are lots of 
people using it.

I will show you a few ways to make it more difficult(if someone wants to get 
on they can circumvent most security addons in most routers eg MAC addresses)

If anyone wants some disks I will get a few copied.

But let me know asap. so can be ready on Wednesday..

Cheers,

Dave
