I have a 128-bit wep hex key I would like to have converted into a passphrase.

Why yes we can get a good result :P

I'll post tomorrow when I get in with links to loads of WEP cracking stuff if you want. I've also got some videos I could send you, but alot of it's hardware dependent as well. You'll want a wireless NIC with a prsim 2 or 2.5 chipset or te atheros chipset as these are capable of packet injection and going into monitor mode.

Changed my mind, I'll give links now, even though I'm tired :) How kind am I :P

13 links for you to sort through. Different people like different ones. PM me if you want videos of WEP cracking being done, I have 2 or 3 of them. WPA as well I think (don't quote me on that one)

Ok, it ended up not being 13 as some didn't load and some weren't what I expected them to be. But there you go. Enjoy reading :)

edit: Ok, I'm a fool, you've already got the key and you want it converted into a passphrase. Erm…decode the hex? If you can't find that on google by typing it 'hex translator' and using the online ones or by doing it yourself then I promise I'll fly over to where you live and slap you with a salmon for you.
