Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) may plausibly be the dominant form of matter in the Universe. This form of Dark Matter may lead to a number of distinctive astrophysical signals. WIMP annihilation in the halo of our galaxy may lead to detectable gamma-rays, anti-protons, and/or positrons in the cosmic ray flux. WIMP annihilation may also be catalyzed by capture in the Sun, which could lead to a detectable high energy neutrino flux. I will review the status of these signals, concentrating on gamma-rays and neutrinos. I will also speculate on detector requirements needed to probe a significant fraction of the model builders parameter space.
