Due to the emergence of new techniques and technologies of intrusion, the wireless network protocols have become obsolete; for this reason, this research seeks to violate and evaluate the security of the WPA2 protocol that is widely used by the Colombian service providers. The first section of this paper introduces the WPA2 protocol by describing its operation and the potential attacks it may suffer; the second part details the methodology used to collect the tests data and to carry out the evaluation necessary for the preparation of this article. In addition, we present the Linset and Aircrack-ng tools for auditing wireless networks that were selected to assess the security of the protocol. Finally, we show the results and conclusions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
