To crack a WEP key:
Step 1: Go to (start)
Step 2: Click (run)
Step 3: Type (cmd)
Step 4: Type (ipconfig)
Step 5: Put the Gateway IP on your address bar and press go
There are many ways a hack might crack a WEP wireless key. However, the methods a hacker might employ to do so would not likely be advertised publicly as hacking is against the law.
A WEP crack refers to an individual gaining access to a locked or secured WEP access point. One can block this in their router settings by securing their internet with a password. One can also change their settings to allow only a range of IP address'. One can also try and block neighbor's IP address.

WEP and WPA protect your information from unauthorized access when you are using your wireless connection. Longer key harder to crack. WEP system is practically dead because of flaws in the encryption mechanism, and basically can be cracked within minutes. WPA is a good choice especially with long keys. If you can, use WPA2-PSK AES. This one is almost impossible to crack.
WEP is a part of 802.11. WEP is not secure because its wickness in the encryption mechanism. Which is used by many wireless network scanners. It takes about 5 minutes to hack WEP. It's highly recommended to use WPA or WPA2-PSK AES over WEP.
I would suggest WPA-PSK. Several organizations have recently demonstrated how to crack WEP keys in under an hour, and in the case of the FBI, as little as three minutes. WPA-PSK is a much more secure technology.
WEP has been replaced by WPA.
A passphrase is easier to remember than it is with a web-key, therefore easier to crack/break/guess.
Where is the WEP key?
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
Probably 578511 is an error indication but i know that a wep key has to have letters in it so 578511 is not a wep key.
