Penetration Testing Solution for Wireless Networks using mobile devices
Alexandru Ilovan, Bogdan Iancu · 2018
An important problem when teaching cyber security concepts is the difficulty in understanding and testing security and penetration scenarios. Since the beginning of networks and computers, there was a constant battle regarding when, how and who has access to different resources and information. The paper unveils some key insecurities of wireless networks and presents a penetration testing (pen testing) mobile programmable device controlled by a mobile application that can be used for understanding and learning security concepts. The proposed system allows teachers to build low cost hand-on security laboratory solutions and lets students run real security penetration scenarios, to further deepen their cyber security understanding.
