WEP and WPA
Basic Security and WEP
Once the foundation is laid down, we will start taking a look at basic security measures available to WLAN users to help secure their networks. We start with a look at MAC filtering, RF natural jamming, and the move into a detailed explanation of WEP. To illustrate the dangers of using WEP, we will start a live WEP cracking process just to demonstrate the dangers of relying on this unsafe form of protection.
- MAC Filtering
- Natural Jamming
- WEP
- Authentication
- ICVs
WPA
This section focuses on the internals of WPA. We look at TKIP, Michael, and MIC and how they work to help repair the holes found in WEP.
- TKIP
- MIC
- Michael
WPA2 (802.11i)
Next we look at the current Wi-Fi protection standards and break them down to help you understand how they work and what they do. From the initial EAP handshake, to AES and all points in between, you will learn how WPA2 has helped to make wireless networking more secure.
- RSN and AES-CCMP
- PMK/PTK/GMK/GTK
- RADIUS
- 802.1x
- EAP - EAP/EAP-TLS/LEAP/PEAP/etc.
