Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that allows devices to communicate using radio waves without physical cables.
Wi-Fi enables devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and IoT systems to communicate wirelessly.
Name of the wireless network.
Example: Home_WiFi
Unique MAC address of the Access Point.
Example: 00:11:22:33:44:55
Hardware identifier assigned to a device.
Example: A4:6E:F4:11:22:33
Automatically assigns IP address, gateway, and DNS settings.
Wireless device that broadcasts Wi-Fi and manages client connections.
The Access Point broadcasts SSID, BSSID, channel information, and security settings.
Nearby devices detect available wireless networks and display them to users.
The device verifies credentials such as passwords with the Access Point.
After successful authentication, the device connects to the wireless network.
DHCP automatically assigns IP configuration such as IP address and DNS.
Devices exchange packets wirelessly to access network resources and the internet.
Which protocol assigns IP addresses automatically?
Wi-Fi uses radio signals for communication.
Which frequency is commonly used in Wi-Fi ?
SSID is the password of the router .
What uniquely identifies a wireless device ?
BSSID identifies a wireless access point.
Which device broadcasts Wi-Fi signals ?
What does SSID stand for ?
Weak, outdated, easily hackable.
Better than WEP, uses TKIP, still vulnerable.
Common, AES encryption, strong authentication.
Latest, stronger encryption, better privacy.
No password, high risk.
Password-based (home/small office).
Centralized authentication (RADIUS), used in large networks.
Which authentication is used in organizations?
WPA3 is more secure than WEP.
Which encryption is used in WPA2?
WEP is considered secure today.
Which protocol uses stronger modern security ?
Open authentication requires no password.
What does PSK stand for?
Which protocol is outdated and insecure?
Download the attached wireless capture files and analyze them to investigate a WPA-protected Wi-Fi network. Identify the network details, examine the EAPOL handshake, crack the Wi-Fi password using Aircrack-ng, and answer all the challenge questions.
Which tool was used to crack the Wi-Fi password?
Which encryption type was detected in the capture?
What is the ESSID of the target network?
Which handshake type is shown in the output?
Which attack type was performed using the wordlist?
Which value of BSSID ?
Which file extension stores wireless packet captures?
Which password was successfully cracked?
Common wireless attack techniques used in security assessments
Disconnects clients to capture handshake packets for offline cracking.
Fake AP mimicking a legitimate network to steal credentials and sessions.
Capture WPA/WPA2 4-way handshake for offline password cracking.
Try all possible password combinations until the correct one is found.
Use precompiled wordlists (rockyou.txt, SecLists) to guess passwords.
Change MAC address to bypass MAC filters or hide device identity.
Capture and analyze network traffic to extract sensitive information.
Flood network with packets to disrupt or disable wireless services.
Which attack uses wordlists for passwords?
MAC spoofing changes the router password.
Which attack creates a fake wireless network?
Packet sniffing captures network traffic.
Which tool is used for packet analysis?
Deauthentication attacks disconnect users from Wi-Fi.
Which attack floods the network traffic?
Which attack captures WPA handshakes?
