Abstract:
Protection of IEEE 802.11 networks means
protection against attacks on confidentiality, integrity
and availability. Possible threats come from
vulnerabilities of security protocols. The rapid
growth in the use of wireless networks attracts the
attackers as a target. Wireless traffic consists of
management, control and data frames. An attacker
can manipulate these frames that affect the data
integrity, confidentiality, authentication and
availability. A real Wireless Local Area (WLAN)
testbed setup is proposed for performing the
vulnerabilities of well-known attacks pertaining to
IEEE 802.11 network and monitoring the analysis of
packets. Based on these categories of vulnerabilities
and threats, Confidentiality Attack: Evil Twin
Availability Attacks: Deauthentication Disassociation
and Café Latte and Authentication Attack: Dictionary
attack are conducted through demonstrations in a
real environment by using proposed setup.
