Industry analysts widely acknowledged KRACK as a serious WPA2 security flaw. The finding prompted technology providers to quickly roll out software patches to mitigate risk until the arrival of the next generation of wireless security. But many experts argued theKRACK vulnerability would prove difficult...
The software is an essential part of your wireless network security. The wireless router’s firmware, like any other software, contains flaws that can become major vulnerabilities and be ruthlessly exploited by hackers. Unfortunately, many wireless routers don’t come with the option to auto-update...
As a result, it can effectively protect wireless data transmission without the need for keys and complex algorithms. Some researchers give solutions to the UAS communication network security based on physical layer security. For example, adding artificial noise [24] to the transmission information to...
Even once you’ve set up a secure WiFi network, it’s a good idea to take additional steps to protect your network. Make sure you keep all network security software up-to-date, as this acts as a base layer of defense against threats. You can also turn off network name broadcasting, w...
Security WatchA guide to Wireless SecurityKathryn Tewson and Steve RileySetting up a wireless network is incredibly easy. There’s no cable to pull, no holes to drill; just plug in your wireless access point (AP), let your wireless connection manager auto-associate, and you’re online. Unfor...
Your manager demands the integration of a wireless network into your existing corporate network. You have spent years perfecting the security of your wired network. Now you have to integrate a new technology that has new holes popping up all the time. What choices can you make that will keep...
Let us start with the basics. Most of the wireless router has the encryption disabled by default. Make sure to enable either WPA or WPA2 wireless encryption. Click onWireless -> Wireless Security ,to enable the encryption and assign a password as shown in Fig-1. Following are the different...
Audit security of your wireless network by running a high-profile timed attack. Use dedicated or generic Wi-Fi adapters to sniff wireless traffic and break WPA/WPA2 passwords.
Botnets exist largely because of the number of users who fail to observe basic principles of computer security, such as installing and updating antivirus software, running regular scans for suspicious code, and so on. Thereby, they become unwitting accomplices....
To address WEP issues with a software upgrade.The implementation of the RC4 stream cipher within WEP is vulnerable to known plaintext attacks. Additionally, the data integrity provided with WEP is relatively weak. WPA solves all the remaining security issues with WEP, yet only requires firmware up...
