TomsHardware.com Cracking WEP key articles?

Tom's Hardware appears to have taken down the "How to crack WEP keys"
parts 1 and 2, and replaced them with a "Don't use WEP" collumn. Does
anyone have them cached somewhere?

I'm mostly interested in getting Kismet up and running from a bootable
CD, but need to find a compatable WiFi card, as the Intel 2200bg card
in my Dell laptop isn't supported. I really just want a scanning tool
that'll find networks with SSI disabled, so I can configure client's
networks to avoid channels that are in-use but hidden from WinDoze and
NetStumbler.

Thanks!

They're still there.

I discussed this in another group, don't mean to beat a horse that
doesn't need it. I feel like it's one thing to post info on the
security flaws that exist and what can be done to prevent dastardly
deeds from being done. It's another matter entirely to post "How to
break into someone's network and make them wish they were never born" in
a step-by-step how-to article. "Know thy enemy" does not translate into
posting "Creating Havoc for the Masses" to me.
