How does WPA2-PSK authentication work?
WPA2-PSK requires a router with a passphrase, with a length between 8 to 63 characters, to encrypt the data in the network. When a user connects to the router, the user provides a password to authenticate their identity and, as long as the password matches, the user is connected to WLAN.
Which is better WPA2-PSK or WPA2 EAP?
The pros of WPA2-PSK is that it is supported in every 802.11 device of relatively recent manufacture (2nd gen 802.11g or so). It is simple to set up and simple to use. WPA2 EAP-PSK should be somewhat more secure in that it would be harder to calculate the PSK from captured traffic.
What is WPA2-PSK password?
Short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key, and also called WPA or WPA2 Personal, it is a method of securing your network using WPA2 with the use of the optional Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication, which was designed for home users without an enterprise authentication server.
Is the WPA2 password the same as the wifi password?
You’ll also see WPA2 – it’s the same idea, but a newer standard. WPA Key or Security Key: This is the password to connect your wireless network. It’s also called a Wi-Fi Security Key, a WEP Key, or a WPA/WPA2 Passphrase. This is another name for the password on your modem or router.
How to create an evil twin wireless access point?
The evil twin AP is an access point that looks and acts just like a legitimate AP and entices the end-user to connect to our access point. Our aircrack-ng suite has a tool, airbase-ng, that can be used to convert our wireless adapter into an access point.
How does an evil twin AP attack work?
An evil twin AP is like a rogue access point. The attacker creates a fake wireless AP to lure users into thinking it’s a trusted wireless network. They amplify their signal in a way where the client will automatically connect to them because the beacons are faster and closer in range.
How is the Pairwise Master Key used in WPA2?
The crucial point that misses in your description is that the key derived from SSID and PSK is known as “Pairwise Master Key”. This is not the actual key that is used for the encryption. Instead, you can use it to compute a secret session key without passing the session key on the wire. That is what the ANounce and SNounce are used for.
What kind of tool does evil twin use?
Tools such as Honeypot, CqureAP, D-Link G200, HermesAP, Rogue Squadron, and WifiBSD can perform these attacks. The evil twin AP is an access point that looks and acts just like a legitimate AP and entices the end-user to connect to our access point.
