In cryptography, an initialization vector (IV) is a block of bits that is required to allow a stream cipher or a block cipher to be executed in any of several streaming modes of operation to produce a unique stream independent from other streams produced by the same encryption key, without having to go through a (usually lengthy) re-keying process.
IV's are commonly referred to in wireless network hacking, more specifically WEP hacking, where a hacker fakes association with a wireless access point and generates IV's that are used to crack the WEP key of the network.

Get the Vector Wingmug. A vector point is a designated point assisting someone to get to their desired location with ease. A simple start, route, and destination.
You’re going to start at this stop sign, that’s your vector point, from there there’s a path that will lead you straight to the building you’re looking for. Use that stop sign to help you get there anytime you need to go to that building.
