چکیده
Wireless networks are today an entire part of the Internet, and are often used by companies and particularies. Security of information is thus important, and protocols like WEP and WPA can be attacked. We present in this report the existent WLANs protocols, an overview of the most e cient attacks on them and two attacks we have found on WEP.

Tornado Attack on RC4 with Applications to WEP & WPA
In this paper, we construct several tools for building and manipulating pools of biases in the analysis of RC4. We report extremely fast and optimized active and passive attacks against IEEE 802.11 wireless communication protocol WEP and a key recovery and a distinguishing attack against WPA. This was achieved through a huge amount of theoretical and experimental analysis (capturing WiFi packet...
متن کاملCryptanalysis for RC4 and Breaking WEP/WPA-TKIP
In recent years, wireless LAN systems are widely used in campuses, offices, homes and so on. It is important to discuss the security aspect of wireless LAN networks in order to protect data confidentiality and integrity. The IEEE Standards Association formulated some security protocols, for example, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (WPA-T...
متن کاملENHANCING MESSAGE PRIVACY IN WEP by DARSHAN
The 802.11 standard defines the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and encapsulation of data frames. It is intended to provide data privacy to the level of a wired network. WEP suffered threat of attacks from hackers owing to certain security shortcomings in the WEP protocol. Lately, many new protocols like WiFi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, Robust Secure Network (RSN) and 802.11i have come into be...
متن کاملStatistical and Algebraic Cryptanalysis of Lightweight and Ultra-Lightweight Symmetric Primitives
Symmetric cryptographic primitives such as block and stream ciphers are the building blocks in many cryptographic protocols. Having such blocks which provide provable security against various types of attacks is often hard. On the other hand, if possible, such designs are often too costly to be implemented and are usually ignored by practitioners. Moreover, in RFID protocols or sensor networks,...
متن کاملA survey on the wi-fi wireless network systems penetration approaches
Wireless network technology made it possible to communicate easily using the electromagnetic waves leading to removing the biggest barrier in portable communications. As these networks use the air as the communication medium which leads to face with more vulnerabilities. Wireless networks play a vital role in our life in a way that all devices ranging from local modems to organizational equipme...
