Abstract

The network has become portable as a result of digital modulation, adaptive modulation, information compression, wireless access, and multiplexing. Wireless devices connected to the internet can possess a serious risk to the information security. These devices communicate among themselves in a public domain which is very easily susceptible to attacks. These devices only depend upon the encryption and their shared keys to help them mitigate the risk when data is in transit. Also WEP/WPA (wired equivalent privacy/ wireless protected access) cracking tools are taken care to avoid break into attacks. Several wireless networks, their security features, threats, and countermeasures to keep the network secure are all covered in this chapter. It analyses various wireless encryption techniques, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. The chapter also explores wireless network attack techniques and provides countermeasures to safeguard the information systems and also provide a wireless penetration testing framework for safeguarding the wireless network.

1. Introduction

With the use of wireless technology (Restuccia et al., 2020), the computer industry is entering a new phase of technical development. The use of wireless networking is changing how people work and play. To make data portable, transportable, and accessible, people can use networks in fresh ways by removing the physical link or cable. A wireless platform includes to devices and gathers data by utilising radio frequency technologies. It is an uncontrolled data transmission system. By using this network, users are released from complex and numerous wired connections. Without creating a physical link between them, it uses electromagnetic waves to connect to various sites. In wireless networks, electromagnetic waves are employed to send data and signals through the connection line. In addition to being quick and easy to set up, wireless networks (Restuccia et al., 2020) also eliminate the need for wiring via ceilings and walls, provide connectivity in locations where it is difficult to run cables, and allow access remotely that is within reach of a base station. You can get a wireless LAN connection to the internet at public locations like airports, libraries, schools, and even coffee shops.
