Step 1: Buy/Download some books on general encryption theory
Step 2: Buy/Steal/Find Equipment, manuals, and programming software/cables that uses the encryption you want to decrypt
Step 3: Find a place other than RadioReference to discuss it (I'm shocked this thread got as far as it did, much less if anyone started discussing process)
Step 4: Contact me privately, I'm down.
Step 5: Hack Baby Hack!
The simplest answer to the question is, yes it is possible.
The truth of the matter is, unless you plan to use this to pull off some kind of heist that will have you set for life and absolutely requires listening to encrypted radio communications, it is far from practical.
But as a hobby project, what could be more fun than illegally attempting to listen to communications someone went through a great deal of time and expense to keep you out of?
Not so long ago nobody thought MD5 could be deciphered, now a free MD5 decrypter is the first result of a Google search. WEP stands for wired equivalency protocol, once someone thought it was just as good as communicating over a wire, today anyone with 30 seconds to kill can see how false that turned out to be.
I would seek out forums and IRC channels with people who decrypt for a hobby, software crackers and other hackers who may or may not be so well versed in radios, bring some radio skill to the table and form a team of like minded people with different skillsets.
