If WEP is disabled, then the payload of each packet can be read. The data gathered will also validate whether or not WEP is working if there's a connectivity problem. WildPackets was urged to add wireless packet detection and decoding capability to EtherPeek by many high-profile customers who are facing obstacles to wireless network implementation due to perceived security risks. Security and privacy concerns associated with wireless networks are major issues for many of our customers, states Janice Spampinato, WildPackets' VP of Sales and Marketing. WildPackets will release a new version of EtherPeek with Cisco drivers that provides the ability to detect and decode 802.11 wireless protocols when used in combination with Cisco 340 series PC cards in the fourth quarter.
