Randy Munden.Security protocols of Wi-Fi networks

 Most of the Security protocols of Wi-Fi networks are often broken or bypassed exposing the wireless internet traffic to attackers. Through this article one can learn about different ways to get basic service sets information of remote user’s Wi-Fi as well as current network connection information, and how to extract saved Wireless LAN profiles of remote pc after that you will be disconnecting target user’s Wi-Fi too. All the following attacks are post exploitation attacks.

• Introduction
• Working of Wi-Fi
• Types of Wi-Fi security
• WLAN BSS List
• WLAN Current Connection
• WLAN Profile
• WLAN Disconnect
• Mimikatz

As the name suggests, the Wi-Fi network has no physical connection between the sender and the receiver. It uses radio frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum associated with radio waves. Therefore, it is able to provide high-speed internet. Every Wi-Fi connection works through an AccessPoint (AP). The main job of an access point is to broadcast the signal that is further detected by electronic devices. ones the signal is detected they connect to the Wi-Fi in order to use Wi-Fi.
