aircrack 1.4. aircrack is an 802.11 WEP cracking program that can recover a 40-bit or 104-bit WEP key once enough encrypted packets have been gathered. It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools. [freshmeat.net] So I don't I even bother with WEP.  Just allow only registered NICs and don't pass overly sensitive over the air:-) 9:59:33 AM

PHPlist: Not your everyday Mailman. Like many (if not most) open source developers, I use Mailman, the GNU mailing list manager, for all of my newsletter requirements. Recently, however, I began playing with a different one-way announcement-type newsletter mailer. It's called PHPlist, and as you might guess, in contrast to Mailman, it's not Python powered. Beyond the language difference, it adds a number of useful default features, including email from RSS feeds and sophisticated user management that really extends the power of an announcement-based mailing list.
