Is it just me, or is WPA becoming a LOT more common in households which wouldn't even know what wireless encryption is in the first place? Sounds like a stupid question, but coming from a person who likes to scan around while out and about with his laptop, I've started seeing a lot more routers which are WPA enabled, and in homes which I know aren't technology-savvy. It seems like newer routers are coming with WPA enabled as default, which is great for general security. WEP sucks bad, and it's a WiFi hacker's wet dream to come across an insecure/WEP (also insecure) network when you're out and about. Shame that WPA is being seen more lately - I remember when I would be able to jump onto pretty much any WiFi network I wanted just because they were all shitty WEP encrypted.
Ahh well. Time to get with the times. WPA cracking is a bitch though.

Is there a better way of doing this now?
