Wireless Security And Vulnerability In The Wireless Network

different cyber security vulnerabilities faced by different network. The vulnerabilities being either unknown or known makes it challenging for an Information Technology manager to keep the network secure. Organizations prefer to deal with wireless network because of what it can offer. According to Cisco, wireless networks are a powerful tool for boosting productivity and encouraging information sharing. With untethered access to documents, emails, applications and other network resources, employees

Malicious Attack is an attempt to forcefully abuse or take advantage of someone 's computer, whether through computer viruses, social engineering, phishing, or other types of social engineering. Malicious Attack have four general categories of attacks on computer systems and networks. The first it have to fabrications

that Lightweight location verification algorithm work, in the first level, the data owner collect the basic information of the network. The content of the information about the packet and the time of sending and receiving the information is stored in the basic information layer. The third layer is packet formatting which have the details of the data. In wireless network, the data are sent through packets so the packets content the information in a header which contents the information of the source

Wireless Security Overview Wireless networks serve as the transport mechanism between devices and among devices and the traditional wired networks (enterprise networks and the Internet). Wireless networks are many and diverse but are frequently categorized into three groups based on their coverage range: Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWAN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLANs), Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN )and etc. WWAN includes wide coverage area technologies such as 2G cellular, Cellular

COMPUTER NETWORKS RESEARCH PAPER PHASE-1 By, Venkata Kannepalli- 2628541 Durga Chetan Kumar- 2627862 Susheel Sarab-2660333 ABSTRACT 802.11 wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) becomes most important these days. Whether it would be simple range extender for a home wired Ethernet interface, or as a wireless interface, WLAN provides mobility, ease of access and affordable. Most of the 802.11 wireless network uses the frequency of 2.4GHz, which leads the network to be unsafe and more vulnerable than

INTRODUCTION Wireless networking has numerous benefits. Productivity remarkably enhances due to the higher accessibility to the information resource. Network configuration as well as reconfiguration becomes easier, quicker, and overall less expensive. Nonetheless, this technology also poses new threats as well as brings change in the already existing profile of risk in the information security. Explaining this terminology, as we all know that the communication occurs "through the air" utilizing

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) are quickly evolving in computer communication networks (Yue & Matsumoto, 2002). They are being developed to deliver users in restricted geographical areas the ability to use a high bandwidth. WLANs are used in wireless offices, businesses, college campuses, and other areas (Yue & Matsumoto, 2002). The use of wireless network interfaces allows mobile devices to connect to the internet using the Ethernet. Numerous contention-based protocols that could be modified

5. Securing Wireless Client Devices Two major threats to wireless client devices are (1) loss or theft, and (2) compromise. Many of us store our confidential and proprietary information in our Laptops and PDAs, loss or theft of such kind of devices may cause the organization to be in violation of privacy regulations involving the disclosure of personal identifying information it has collected from third parties. Another threat to wireless client devices is that they can be compromised so that an

3.1 Introduction to WLAN Security Security should always be a concern whenever planning, designing, implementing, and maintaining a network infrastructure. This is especially true for wireless LANs, which present unique challenges to home users and IT administrators. Unlike traditional Ethernet LANs, 802.11 wireless LANs advertise their network names (SSID’s) into the air unencrypted. This makes it easy for a hacker to intercept by sniffing the Wireless LAN for SSID advertisements coming from

Findings Networks are very vulnerable to any holes that are within its infrastructure. In fact, many may believe that they have the best security measures in place, but no system or network of any type is impenetrable (Trim & Lee, 2014). Risk assessments are extremely necessary so that corrective countermeasures can be applied and overall security can be enhanced (Broder & Tucker, 2011). Security should ensure that this is the top priority for any company or organization. A detailed risk assessment
