Re: Can someone please explain this Alert

Hi,

Yes, I have WEP enabled. Although I have come across numerous WEP cracking tools while looking around...not sure of their success however.

Yes WEP can be cracked, and I guess if it has been on your network, someone could be using DHCP to obtain an IP and use your network. The packet in that alert would not be a hack attack on your computer. I think it would be interesting to see the rule details as jvmorris See Profile has stated.

My apologies. I did not mean to say that ip addresses are being revealed. Not on these posts. Of course your ip address is in every packet .
