Learning Wifi Hacking the easy way : Part 1 Wifi Basics
- This comprehensive guide on WiFi hacking for beginners covers the fundamentals including installing the program, understanding its basic functions, and being aware of some crucial WiFi facts and technological information.
- Wireless networks use radio waves similar to two-way radio communication, radios, televisions, and cell phones. Data is sent through a computer's wireless adapter, sent via an antenna, received by a wireless router, decoded, and transmitted through a physical, wired Ethernet connection to the web.
- Hackers can easily target devices and personal information connecting across airwaves including public WiFi networks in places like airports and coffee shops.
- WiFi frequencies are divided into several channels, reducing congestion and interference. WiFi uses radio waves to send data over frequencies between the device and the router, dependant on the data being delivered.
- Components of WiFi transmission include Ethernet (802.3) connection/base station, access points and accessing devices.
- Existing six WiFi standards include IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ax. The newest Wi-Fi standard IEEE 802.11ax is intended to increase efficiency and performance in crowded areas.
- WiFi security protocols help protect against data breaches and unwanted access to wireless networks. WEP is an outdated encryption technique that is not recommended for use while WP2, released in 2019 WPA3 offers enhanced defence against brute-force and offline dictionary attacks.
