Wireless Transmission Security
Wireless transmission security vulnerabilities in WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and other wireless protocols, including signal interception, jamming, and protocol-specific attacks.
Wireless transmission encompasses various protocols including WiFi (802.11), Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, and other short-range wireless technologies. Security vulnerabilities vary by protocol but commonly include open-air interception, weak encryption, protocol-specific attacks, and jamming susceptibility. Legacy protocols often have fundamental security weaknesses.
- Open-air signal interception
- Weak encryption (WEP, WPA, early WPA2)
- Protocol-specific vulnerabilities
- Jamming and denial of service
- Man-in-the-middle attacks
- Key reinstallation attacks (KRACK)
- Bluetooth pairing vulnerabilities
- Zigbee encryption weaknesses
- Signal interception using wireless adapters
- Encryption breaking (WEP, WPA)
- Key reinstallation attacks
- Jamming and interference
- Man-in-the-middle attacks
