Subject: Pentesting a WEP-protected wifi network

Hello list,

I am currenty trying to pentest a wireless network protected with WEP (not
sure if 40/64 or 104/128 bit).

I would like to know what are the best tools to use if the equipment I have
for the pentest is an XP workstation with a 802.11b D-link wireless card.

I know there are many tools for Unix / Linux with certain wifi cards, but I
would like to prove if it is feasible to break a WEP key with just an XP and
any wifi card.

Thanks in advance for your help and best regards, Rodrigo.
