Most of us have almost discarded network cables and rely on wireless for connecting to other computers as well as to the Internet. The wired Internet is more secure as it reduces the chances of ...

Design flaws in the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) wireless standard can make it easier for attackers to obtain access codes for secured wireless networks by brute force. The vulnerabilities identified ...

The ubiquitous Wi-Fi standard has at least three design flaws that allow a local attacker to intercept and exfiltrate wireless traffic, while additional implementation flaws enable more serious ...

We try out an attack tool developed by researchers who wanted to demonstrate the security vulnerabilities of wireless access points equipped with WPS. Our experience shows that you can't necessarily ...

Millions of wireless routers worldwide are susceptible to a brute-force attack that breaks a widely deployed built-in security feature for WiFi and ultimately cheats the newest generation of secure ...

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is an alternate on-ramp to a Wi-Fi network. Thinking that clicking on the name of a network and entering its password is too hard, the Wi-Fi Alliance came up with the WPS ...

Most of the routers come with a special feature that allows any device with Wi-Fi to connect with a password. It’s called WPS or Wi-Fi Protected Setup standard. While the support for WPS has been ...

The recent wave of new mesh router systems has brought with it changes besides the obvious increase in Wi-Fi range. For example, these mesh routers are more likely to insist on WPA2-AES encryption, as ...
