# WEP

> Connect to WEP-protected networks using wpa_supplicant with a hex or ASCII key.

## Config File

`wep.conf`:

```
network={
    ssid="NETWORK-NAME"
    key_mgmt=NONE
    wep_key0=<KEY-IN-HEX>
    wep_tx_keyidx=0
}
```

<Note>
  `wep_key0` accepts hex (e.g. `AABBCCDDEE`) or ASCII wrapped in quotes (e.g. `"password"`). Hex is the format returned by `aircrack-ng`.
</Note>
