Free wep key software for mac

WEP Key Maker generates a hexadecimal WEP key from a pass phrase. IEEE 802.11b (aka Airport, Wi-Fi) uses a 104- or 40-bit (aka 128- and 64-bit) key to encode packets with WEP encryption.

WEP Key Maker helps create hexadecimal keys which third party devices typically use.

Generating such a key from a pass phrase makes it easy to create and reproduce a key without writing it down. The key can be copied from WEP Key Makers dialog and pasted directly into Airport dialogs and third-party software. WEP Key Maker also creates keys of other lengths.

xwepgen lets Mac OS X users use WEP passphrases from nearly all non-Apple 802.11b software and hardware to connect to encrypted wireless networks.

Devices connecting via encrypted 802.11b network use a WEP key to encrypt the data they send. An actual WEP key looks like: 57EAB0FF for a 40-bit (64-bit) link, and similar, though longer, for a 104-bit (128-bit) link.

However, some 802.11b hardware and software (Apple products, many Linksys, Lucent, D-Link, and other products) have the user input a passphrase instead of an actual WEP key. These products then use some algorithm to convert the passphrase to a WEP key.

The problem Mac users face is that Apples passphrase-to-key algorithm differs from the one used by most other products. Using xwepgen, Apple users can input a Linksys/DLink/Lucent/etc. passphrase, and get the WEP key to use in airport password dialogues.

Usage:
1) Get the passphrase and encryption method (40-bit or 104-bit) from thenetwork admin. Also, if the encryption method is 40-bit, find out which WEP key (1 through 4) the network is using. If unsure, try 1 first, then try theothers.
2) Start xwepgen and enter the passphrase in the appropriate field. Click‘Generate WEP keys’.
3) Tell your Mac to connect to the network, and where it requests the ‘AirportPassword’, enter the WEP key. Make sure the wep key begins with a ‘$’. (For example, if my WEP key is 50FFA0FF, then I would enter $50FFA0FF).xwepgen inserts the ‘$’ for you by default.
4) Finally, click ‘OK’, ‘Apply’, or whatever’s appropriate, and watch in wonder asyou connect to the Linksys/D-Link/Lucent/etc. network! Enjoy.

Always In Key is a small utility app that allows a user to select a musical key and restrict the MIDI output to only notes contained in that key. (For example, in the key of C Major, no sharps or flat will be played).

When a "bad" note is received (i.e. a note outside the selected key), the user can configure AIK to either ignore the note or play an adjacent note.

Wireless Key Generator 1.0 is a useful utility designed for generating wep security keys for wireless routers and access points.

To use launch Wireless Key Generator. Then simply select bit size and mode and click onto the Generate button. Once generated save the keys to a text file, burn to CD, and use the CD to copy one of the keys on each wireless computer.

Low-Key Tester is a program that tests the users ability to recognize key signatures in four clefs (treble, bass, alto, and tenor).

In addition it provides a "practice mode" and a graph at the end of the test showing which are the users strongest and weakest keys.
