Scott Fluhrer, Itsik Mantin and Adi Shamir (who was one of the inventors of the RSA encryption algorithm) released a paper entitled "Weaknesses in the Key Scheduling Algorithm of RC4." In August 2001, based on the security flaws described therein, Blake Hegerle and Jeremy Bruestle made public a tool that must gather roughly five to ten million encrypted packets from a wireless access point before it can attempt to recover the wireless key. Depending on the environment, this can take as little as a few minutes or more commonly a few hours and possibly a few days.
