what apps do you guys use? macstumbler or kismac?

Well, out of kisMAC and MacStumbler, kisMAC would have the tools to break it.
But you'll have to wait a while before it can.
Presume that your encryption is at 128kps, kisMAC gathers all the weak keys which it broadcasts until it can determine the code.
But it would have to collect more than 1000 weak keys before a 128kps WEP.
Weak keys don't come up that often so it'll take a while.

There's something called AirSnort, but it's in code or something, so I have no idea how to use it.
