WI-FI Wireless uses radio waves for communication between wireless devices that are connected to the WI-FI network. As the wireless devices uses the open space for communication, it’s an open target for attacks. Attackers use WI-FI wireless attack methodologies before performing the actual attack. The following are the attacks performed on WI-FI wireless networks: DoS…

Wi-Fi Wireless Hacking Methodology
Wi-Fi uses wireless for communication in an open space which makes it easy target for attackers. Wi-Fi Network is available almost everywhere at streets, organizations, public infrastructure. An attacker just needs a computing device like a laptop or mobile to hack a Wi-Fi network. The following is the Wi-Fi wireless hacking methodology: Discover the Wi-Fi…
Wireless Security
Wireless Security is the security mechanism implemented in Wi-Fi Wireless network to protect it from un-authorized access performed by attackers. IEEE 802.11i is the security standard amendment for IEEE 802.11 wireless standard. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was the initial security algorithm used in IEEE 802.11. WEP was vulnerable and exploitable. Wi-Fi Alliance brought in WPA…
Wireless Network
Wireless Network is a Network that uses Wireless for Communication for data and voice transmission. Wireless Network doesn’t use physical cables for data transmission rather it uses radio waves to transmit data. Wireless Personal Area Network, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Cellular Networks, Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN), Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) are various Wireless…
Radio waves
Radio waves are waves of high wavelength and low frequency in the electromagnetic wave spectrum. The Radio wave spectrum frequency ranges from 3 KHz to 3,000 GHz. Radio Waves are governed by International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The theory of Radio Waves was brough in by Physicist and Mathematician James Clerk Maxwell in 1865. In 1880s, Physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz proved…
Wireless
Wireless also known as Wireless Communication is the term referred when the communication between systems happens without any physical wires. The communication of data or voice happens in free space using Radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with low frequency and high wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. Wireless is used in Wi-Fi Network, Satellite…
Electromagetic Waves
Electromagnetic (EM) wave also known as Electromagnetic Radiation is a self-propagating wave energy that travels at the speed of light in the form oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other. Electromagnetic Wave is generated when electric particles are accelerated though matter which generates electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum. Accelerating electric charge…
