CNETAnalysis: WEP isn’t enough Think you’re secure with basic WEP? You’re not. We’re going to demonstrate exactly why you need to tighten up your Wi-Fi security by showing you how easy it is to hack a relatively unprotected network. We’ll give a working demonstration of the weaknesses in your network’s security and how they can be exploited. It’s the best way of creating the incentive to shore up that security by using tougher encryption. In this case, we’re going to crack wide open the WEP security that far too many home users still rely on. Whether this is through a lack of knowledge or the belief that they have no assets worth stealing is neither here nor there. WEP is insecure, as we’ll show you. Before we begin, however, we have to make it absolutely clear that this is not a technique you should try in the wild. Doing so is illegal and we do not condone hacking of any kind. The tools we will ...

CNewsworld.com: Pollution protestors clash with police in China QIDONG: Thousands of people demonstrating against alleged pollution from a paper factory in east China clashed with police Saturday, the latest in a series of environmental protests.

CNETAnalysis: The New York Times is reporting that Apple may be ready to invest “hundreds of millions of dollars” in a stake in Twitter. According to “people briefed on the matter,” the NYT reckons Apple wants to take part-ownership of the micro-blogging phenomenon to “boost its traction” in the all-important social networking arena.

CNewsworld.com: Openers dominate as Windies take upper hand ANTIGUA: An outstanding opening stand of 254 from Chris Gayle (150) and Kieran Powell (134) helped West Indies build a 91 run lead with four first innings wickets remaining after the third day of play in the first test in Antigua. The Caribbean side were 442 for six at the close and while New Zealand will take some comfort from a good effort in the evening session, West Indies are well in charge. The home side resumed on 145-0 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound and Gayle and Powell were still unbeaten by lunch, the former having brought up his 14th century with a six off Chris Martin. Gayle’s ton came in his first test innings in 19 months and was the perfect reminder of just what West Indies have been missing during his absence, caused by a row with the regional cricket board. The big-hitting left-hander departed shortly after lunch though when he holed out to Brandon McCullum off Kan...
