Wifi Attacks

WiFi attacks refer to unauthorized activities aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities in wireless networks to gain unauthorized access, intercept data, or disrupt network services. These attacks can compromise the security and privacy of wireless networks and the devices connected to them. Here are some common types of WiFi attacks:

1. Eavesdropping: Attackers can intercept and monitor WiFi traffic to capture sensitive information, such as login credentials or confidential data.

2. Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: Attackers position themselves between the victim and the WiFi network, allowing them to intercept, alter, or inject data transmitted between the victim and the network.

3. Rogue Access Points: Attackers set up fake WiFi access points that mimic legitimate networks to trick users into connecting. This allows the attacker to capture sensitive information or perform other malicious activities.

4. Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks: Attackers flood the WiFi network with excessive traffic, overwhelming it and causing disruption or complete loss of connectivity for legitimate users.

5. Password Cracking: Attackers attempt to crack the WiFi network's encryption to gain unauthorized access by exploiting weak passwords or using brute-force or dictionary-based attacks.
