IEEE 802.11 Attacks and Defenses
May Aye Chan Aung, Khin Phyo Thant · 2019
Protection of IEEE 802.11 networks meansprotection against attacks on confidentiality, integrityand availability. Possible threats come fromvulnerabilities of security protocols. The rapidgrowth in the use of wireless networks attracts theattackers as a target. Wireless traffic consists ofmanagement, control and data frames. An attackercan manipulate these frames that affect the dataintegrity, confidentiality, authentication andavailability. A real Wireless Local Area (WLAN)testbed setup is proposed for performing thevulnerabilities of well-known attacks pertaining toIEEE 802.11 network and monitoring the analysis ofpackets. Based on these categories of vulnerabilitiesand threats, Confidentiality Attack: Evil TwinAvailability Attacks: Deauthentication Disassociationand Café Latte and Authentication Attack: Dictionaryattack are conducted through demonstrations in areal environment by using proposed setup.
