LOL, pleased I wasn't the only dummy in that respect

I've just come back from an interesting evening seeing a live demonstrations of WEP hacking and MAC spoofing and learning all the insecurities of wireless networking. It was fascinating to see what I'd learned in theory translated into practice. It was a BCS lecture.

However, it made me realise how I've hardly scratched the surface. For instance, when the WEP key was found, it was in hex values. The person demonstrating had no trouble converting this to a plain text password, but I would have been stymied. I supose Google can probably do it.
