Overview
To crack the WEP key for an access point, we need to gather lots of
initialization vectors (IVs). Normal network traffic does not
typically generate these IVs very quickly. Theoretically, if you are
patient, you can gather sufficient IVs to crack the WEP key by simply
listening to the network traffic and saving them. Since none of us are
patient, we use a technique called injection to speed up the process.
Injection involves having the access point (AP) resend selected packets
over and over very rapidly. This allows us to capture a large number
of IVs in a short period of time.
