Wireless Attacks Guide

What are Wireless Attacks?

Wireless attacks are malicious activities that target wireless networks to gain unauthorized access, disrupt services, or steal sensitive information. Common types include deauthentication attacks, evil twin attacks, and brute force attacks.

How Wireless Attacks Work

• Deauthentication Attacks: Force devices to disconnect from a wireless network.
• Evil Twin Attacks: Create a fake wireless network to trick users into connecting.
• Brute Force Attacks: Attempt to crack wireless network passwords by trying all possible combinations.
• Packet Sniffing: Capture and analyze wireless network traffic to steal sensitive information.
