• Resumen

  • Wireless access points are susceptible to many types of cybersecurity attacks. In particular, by attacking the Wi-FI Protected Setup (WPS) passcode using a brute force dictionary attack, it is possible to circumvent the use of password-based network encryption and gain access to the wireless network content. In this tutorial paper, we investigate penetration testing of wireless networks using open source tools which have been automated in Kali Linux, including Wifite and Reaver. Traffic on wireless networks which have been compromised in this manner are further analyzed using the Wireshark network protocol analyzer.
