What is WEP?

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a

64(40)-bit shared key algorithm.

What is a MAC Address?

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the

manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such as a network adapter, that

allows the network to identify it at the hardware level. For all practical purposes,

this number is usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every

time a computer logs on to the network, the MAC address of a device stays the

same, making it a valuable identifier for the network.
