Developing A Wireless Penetration Testing Tool In Linux Platform
Abdullah Nor Arliza · 2013
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) has been popular and more preferred by the users compared to wired ones. This is because wireless has more advantages compared to wired technology such as more cost effective and mobility issue. The disadvantage of using wireless technology is it has high risk of the threat. This research is focused on wireless fidelity (wifi) keys. There are three encryption types for wireless security which are Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP), Wireless Protected Access (WPA) and Wireless Protected Access 2 (WPA2). This project was proposed to help to carry out wifi penetration testing. This penetration testing was conducted to determine wireless vulnerabilities in these three encryption types and to study the differences between them. The contribution of this project is to guide to carry out penetration testing and as an exposure on how the attack had been done by the crackers.
