Hi, RC4 is well-known as an insecure cipher algorithm today.  I hope
that you read some papers about RC4 that are linked this web site.

   http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~itsik/RC4/rc4.html

Especially, I recommend you read this paper.

  Weaknesses in the Key Scheduling Algorithm of RC4, Fluhrer, Mantin
  and Shamir, SAC 2001

Thanks,
