Thanks Jeff but I'm after the theory of how it can be attacked. Can you
please provide me with information regarding this?

Thanks,

You mean exactly how the various WEP exploit tools work? I'm not
interested in expounding on that. Do your own research. There are
quite a few links, references, and tools listed at the bottom of:

There's also a huge mass of wireless security references and URL's at:
