WEP & WPA decryption

[Al Grant <bigal.nz () gmail com>]

HI All,

A bit of a wireshark newbie here, but its such a powerful tool I am
experimenting and learning.

So far my experiments have lead me to a few questions. With WPA decryption I
found that:

With a WPA password of the format %word1234% I could not decrypt the
packets? I wonder if the '%' interfered with it? As soon as I changed the
password to abcd1234 it decrypted fine? Does anyone know what this was?

Also with WEP decryption I assume that I do not need to capture the session
handshake?
With WEP decryption I have also had problems, I tried to enter the WEP Hex
value in several formats:

wep:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
xxxxxxxxxx

None of them worked - any ideas here?

THanks in advance,

-Al
