Cracking Utilities....

Just wondering why still many organisation still using WEP security whereas it is considered broken very easily through some freely available cracking utilities... Any good reason or is it just that they don't care or is it just ignorance...?

Old hardware which doesn't support the newer security types... My old X30 pda for example.

yeh could be the reason but i guess most of the big organizations have latest technologies to be competitive against others in the market.

latest technologies cost money, why replace old hardware when it's doing it's job well.

In some cases, yes they're using old hardware that can't be upgraded to support WPA. Some of our customers still use Symbol Series 3000 DOS-based mobile computers which don't have any hardware acceleration for WPA, and the protocol is a bit taxing for its NEC V20 (80186 equivalent) processor, plus it would need a fair chunk of RAM as well. The older Windows Mobile/Pocket PC devices are often out of support, even just a couple of years after release. The effort and cost to migrate to a different device often outweighs the security benefit of switching over. A DOS-to-CE migration will require at least a recompile if you're lucky. If unlucky (no source) it's a complete rewrite. Even a CE-to-CE migration can be tricky. Enterprise mobile computers (rugged, integrated barcode scanning) generally cost between $800 and $3,000 each; because they're not mass-market devices the development cost has to be amortized over many fewer devices which keeps the price high.
