This is very nice software but it is way too expensive. There is free software out there that does what this does. WinAirCrack can actually do more than this and is free, however, this one has a much better interface. Not only that, CommView for WiFi is missing a critical component ... WEP key retrieval. It turns out that to get that feature, it is SOLD as an ADDON. It is unbelievable that a company would charge $500 for a software that only serves one simple purpose, but then to not include such a critical component is even more disturbing. This software has another big disavdantage ... network interface hardware support is extremely limited. This software only supports a handful of the hundreds of network interface adapters available. If you plan on using this, expect to fork out an additional $60 for a new wifi network adapter. I would consider buying this if the price were in the neighborhood of $40 and it came packaged with the WEP retrieval addon.
