Wireless Hacking

Wireless hacking involves exploiting vulnerabilities in wireless networks, often with the intent to gain unauthorized access to data or systems. Common techniques include Wi-Fi sniffing, which intercepts and analyzes network traffic, and WEP/WPA cracking, where attackers attempt to break the encryption protecting wireless networks. Tools like Aircrack-ng, Kismet, and Reaver are commonly used for these attacks. Wireless hacking can be employed for ethical purposes, such as penetration testing, to identify weaknesses in a network’s security, or maliciously, to steal sensitive data. Securing wireless networks with strong encryption protocols, like WPA3, is essential to protect against these attacks.
