A packaging bug severely reduced entropy. A tiny implementation change can catastrophically reduce key space; this exhibit never creates or enumerates vulnerable keys.
Fixed fictional evidence only. No targets, key recovery, or exploitation tooling.

WEP is obsolete. This is safe pattern recognition: repeated IVs were one ingredient in historical weakness.
ENCRYPTED MESSAGE RECORDS

WAITING FOR DETERMINISTIC DEMO
Cryptographic randomness must be unpredictable, not merely visually complicated. Use a CSPRNG.
HISTORICAL EVIDENCE DOSSIERS
Standardized design and parameter-generation concerns led to distrust and later withdrawal. Controversy does not by itself mathematically prove every alleged mechanism.

Authenticated encryption instead rejects altered data. Confidentiality alone is not enough.

EVIDENCE: none collected yet
A fictional camera sends two records using the same nonce. Diagnose the primary failure.
