Look up "AirSnort" as long as you can sniff the traffic, even if it is encrypted, you can crack it.

Look it up? I use that and Airfart when doing penetration tests. Hell, wireless security is a frickin' joke. The only thing it does is provide wired equivalency at best.

You misunderstand me. I am referring to encryption of the content...even if it moves via an encrypted tunnel such as over a VPN and/or SSL/TLS.

Cracking PGP (or GPG) is another story altogether. That's what I'm talking about.

What's your take on spread spectrum? That bit-rotation thing on top of encyrption looks like it could be a bear to crack.
