Default Can PPC's use software tools that can crack WEP?
I am doing a little demonstration on the inscurities of WEP where I work. (We have a problem with people adding their own wireless devices to our network and we need to put a kabosh on it quickly).

I have a laptop and a desktop with all the tools I standardly use but I wanted to find out if I can aslo add a PPC into the mix as well. You know their small form factor would make this demonstration a bit more effective (as not many people come into our building with a laptop in tow but EVERYONE walks in with PDA"s and new phone devices).

Things I need to know 1) name of the program 2) What Wireless NIC's the programs work with and 3) can it inject packets or is it simply passive? (lets me know if this can be done during a meeting timeframe or if I have to set this one up befhorehand)

I just downloaded mini-stumbler a week ago as I use Netstumbler on my own PC based devices. Any thoughts on some good programs along this line as well?

Here the jist of the demonstration. At the beginning of the meeting I am going to have 3 halfway techonlogy savy people turn on 3 different routers and place them around the building. I am going to have them all implement any non WPA based security they want (mac address filtering, disabling SSID broadcasts, and adding WEP). I am then going to use the devices during the meeting to gather the data to then at the end of the session I am going to show everyone the data.
