Well, what's the sense of those M+2 factors?

Lets say we find all factors for one particular M+2.

M=2^123-1 is a prime, M+2 divides by 12345 and 666 (stupid example).

And what? ))

Well, it's (hopefully) recreational and educational! :) , but beyond
that...?
I suppose, if you're looking for more justification, also WEP-M+2 was
conceived to attempt validation of the WEP algorithm, which might be
useful in a mathematical sense...
