Why do you not support cracking of 128-bit or 64-bit keys?

Actually KisMAC supports this feature, but we do not follow the marketing of most wireless OEMs. Their "128-bit keys" are actually 104-bit secret keys plus a 24-bit long initialization vector (IV), which is submitted in plain text. Therefore, the effective key length is 104-bit. The same rule applies to "64-bit keys", which have an effective strength of 40-bit.

There are the occasional good apples out there. Nokia for example, uses 128-bit secrets plus 24-bit IVs. We unfortunately do not have any of their hardware to test their algorithms. You could of course donate sample hardware if you would like us to work on implementing support for it.
