BSSID and security

I am trying to get out what security APs use. Basically I would know if AP
uses Open or WpaPsk.

How it is possible to find? Get BSSID_List do not have information and
Authentication_mode and Encryption_status tarket is NIC not AP.

Regads,
jake

Hi
I am not sure what you are talking about.
If you looking for ways to brake the Cipher you would not get help here.

If you're referring to WPA you can read about RC4 stream cipher here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC4

WPA2 will be a tougher nut to crack because it uses AES block cipher
