Detailed explanation-1: -WEP 64: The first-generation security standard for wireless. It could be exploited because of an encryption key that was vulnerable to decoding. No security: Although you can elect to implement no security whatsoever, you leave your wireless network completely vulnerable to attack.
Detailed explanation-2: -A WEP-protected network can be cracked in under a minute, especially if the network sees a lot of traffic. Threat actors are then able to intercept a large number of data packets. WEP has been demonstrated to be extremely insecure and should not be used to protect Wi-Fi networks.
Detailed explanation-3: -WEP has suffered from key management problems, implementation errors, and overall weakness in the encryption mechanism. WEP may raise the bar for an attacker but provides no real security from a determined attacker.
Detailed explanation-4: -WEP encrypts traffic using a 64-or 128-bit key in hexadecimal. This is a static key, which means all traffic, regardless of device, is encrypted using a single key. A WEP key allows computers on a network to exchange encoded messages while hiding the messages’ contents from intruders.
