Want to borrow FIOS wifi?

So check this out. Fios, the biggest, baddest, "best" thing to ever happen to net connectivity, is now rolling out in more and more cities. Like so many other FAIL providers, their default wifi encryption is WEP. As many of you know, wep is crackable in all of about a minute and a half.

Dont have a minute and a half? Well FIOS makes it easy for you. By default, a FIOS router has a 6 letter alphanumeric name, and WEP encryption. Pretty fail, but most companies/people also use WEP. It's (sorta) not their fault for being stupid. But what makes fios OH SO special is this: You dont even have to crack the wep by collecting/reinjecting packets or spoofing authentication and deauthentication attacks.

Nope. all you need to do is plug that 6 letter router name into a formula and bam, you have a WEP key allowing you onto the wifi network.

You can find a little java app to do just that for you here: http://fioswepcalc.webs.com/

Of course, you should never connect to anyones wifi without prior permission, seeing that, even if the network is open and has NO password, it is still considered a criminal offence. Knowing is half the battle. Have fun!
