In recent years, a significant increasing in development of Wireless networks is noticed; they become an entire part of the Internet and demonstrate effectiveness in handling communication for reduced public LAN and military applications. This is mainly due to their mobility and low cost solutions; nevertheless, they are also prone to several attacks related to data integrity, Deni of Service and eavesdropping. This paper discusses wireless security protocols, their limitations and weakness. We present also an overview of the FMS (Fluhrer, Mantin, Shamir), a recovery key attack and demonstrate its effectiveness in reducing the average number of intercept packets based on a well choice of IV (initialization vectors). Some comparative experiments on ciphertext-only attacks were performed in order to study the efficiency of such technique and underline encountered difficulties.
