What security weaknesses/vulnerabilities exist in Wireless local area network device hardware and software?

Computers and Technology
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

There are many weaknesses/vulnerabilities, some of which are the following...

Default Network Hardware, many individuals will go out and buy a new router and install it in their home. These devices come with a preset configuration including a preset security password which is many times a default password used for every router of the same model. This can be easily obtained by anyone who can then access the network.

Access Point hacking, an experienced individual can use a packet sniffer to detect the SSID that is frequently sent from the router in order to create an access point to be able to access the network.

WEP encryption is another vulnerability. These are very low security passwords that can be cracked using different software in a short period of time.

These are some of many vulnerabilities that wireless local networks have, but there are also many precautions and security measures that can be taken to prevent them.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Ronald missed the words: One-time password, Secure  

Explanation:

Whenever we use public computer, there are possibilities to steal the user data by hackers. It might not be safe to use as like we have protection in personal or Office computers. But when a situation arises to use a public system, it is always recommended to use one-time password so that the logins are not misused thereafter.

Even if the hackers try to misuse, the user will get a message / authentication reply to use the login and thus we are safe. Also, always browse only secured website ie. “https”.
