WiFi Hacking Cyber Security Guide

If you have noticed that recently your internet is a bit slower, then maybe time to check there have been no compromises in your Wifi’s security protocols. Wifi hacking is essentially cracking the security protocols in a wireless network, granting full access for the hacker to view, store, download, or abuse the wireless network. Usually, when someone hacks into a Wifi, they are able to observe all the data that is being sent via the network. An unauthorized person using your wireless network would be able to see pretty much everything you do online. Even if you visit a HTTPS secured website, a compromised Wifi would allow a hacker to view all information processed on those sites. Below is a simplified list of vulnerable information.

Wireless networks are popping up everywhere.. It will be the most commonly used technology among computer networks in the near future. They provide a lot of freedom but not without cost: All too many home and corporate wireless networks are left wide open for attack.This course takes an in-depth look at the security challenges of many different wireless technologies, exposing you to wireless security threats through the eyes of an attacker. Using readily available and custom-developed tools, you will navigate your way through the techniques attackers use to exploit Wi-Fi networks, including attacks against WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPS and other systems.Using assessment and analysis techniques, this course will show you how to identify the threats that expose wireless technology and build on this knowledge to implement defensive techniques that can be used to protect wireless systems.
