Re: WEP ASCII / HEX

You have cracked the key in HEX and it’s transciption to ASCII is displayed in the parethesis.

13 characters in ASCII: Jnex#I&I[?XP2
is
26 characters in HEX: 4a6e6578234926495b3f585032

When configuring a  connection, you may  always specify the key HEX or ASCII.

ASCII can use: 0~9, a~z, A~Z and some other
and in HEX only: 0~9, a~f, A~F

ASCII is a standardizd set of 128 (I think) characters.

HEX is short for hexadecimal – the base-16 system.

Search for HEX to ASCII converter on Google. There is lots of converters on websites written in JavaScript or whatever.
