Wireless access point

Wireless Fidelity      In the last few years the world has undergone a tremendous and unprecedented technological change with the attack of the Information Technology revolution. Earlier it was e-mail that changed the way people communicate, and then online shopping became the order of the day, gradually online banking caught up and the list goes on and on. The new trend, Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, allows you to connect to the Internet from your couch at home, a bed in

Wireless data has become the technology of the future. Data is being passed from one location to another without the human eye detecting this transaction. Wireless data is transferred in many forms from home networks, business networks, and cellular networks. Each of these networks operates on a different scale and technology. Home networks have been steadily growing over the years as manufacturers have developed new and easier to use devices that install quickly and give the owner the ability

WIRELESS NETWORKING Introduction A wireless network is any type of computer network that uses wireless data connections for connecting network nodes .Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business).Installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation

Continual advancement in technology has led to the extension of wireless accessibility due to Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), an important phenomenon that has been impacting the world over the past decade (Kioskea, 2015). The name Wi- Fi was first coined by Wi-Fi Alliance and it refers to wireless Ethernet 802.11 which defines standards for wireless local area networks (WLANs). But since 802.11 was considered too slow for some applications it was surpassed by extensions 802.11a and 802.11b, and later

Wireless Network Plan Deployment Scenario The Infrastructure deployment scenario is recommended for Apex Designs’ Conference Center. Deployment Scenario Reasoning The Infrastructure deployment scenario will allow for wireless access points (WAPs) to be connected to the existing wired network allowing employees with wireless devices the ability to access the company’s network. This is a commonly used method of enhancing an existing wired network while adding the benefit of mobility to employees

related geographic area and can span up to 50km. WMAN is based on IEEE 802.16 that functioning on Broadband for its wireless metropolitan. WMAN have air interface and a single-carrier scheme intended to activate in the 10-66 GHz spectrum, supports incessantly unreliable transfer levels at many certified frequencies. WMAN opens the door for the creation and Provide high-speed Internet access to business subscribers. It can handle thousands of user stations with prevents collisions and support legacy voice

risk being moderated. As HAN is related to the households there is a little interest paid to the home area network security. Earlier the threats for the HAN were other malicious programs and viruses. Now in this modern world with the invention of wireless networking, broadband and convergence of various communication technologies which has been implemented by HANs, these vulnerabilities have increased more. Public has a very less knowledge on theft of personal information, hacking of credit cards

Finally “Rogue Access Points” are the access points which are set up by a department or an individual for some reasons. These Rogue access points are unsecured, so the “drive-by-hacker” can have an entry points to the network. This is really dangerous because only one Rogue access point can make the network in threat of hacker although you protect all of your official access point very well. Although there are many threat of WLAN, you still can

every application using it for authentication and access would fail. Another example would be if an employee created an account it could be hidden and used later as a back door. Someone with elevated permissions could also delete one or more organizations from the directory causing varying degrees of service disruptions. Risk Score: High Mitigations 1. Grant elevated access only when required Perform user reviews and ensure that elevated access is only granted to those individuals who need it and

Paper CNT4514 Wireless Vulnerabilities The world of wireless networks as we all know is one of the most rapidly growing areas in our world today. With the massive amount of data that is going on, “the cloud” the security of all of our data is questioned. As well with so many of our day to day tasks relying on our wireless capabilities it make you wonder how safe is it to rely so heavily on something. We have to ask the questions what are the key vulnerabilities of wireless networks and even
