Johnny,

Google it up. WEP is crytographically weak and there are a number of
different rather efficient attacks for it. Packet reinject to gather
enough IV's, FHS or any of a handful of cryptographic attacks against
em, and the WEP key is yours.

Detail gathering is left as an exercise for Johnny.

Best Regards,
