Realizar un análisis de las vulnerabilidades y mecanismos de explotación asociados a redes wifi abiertas

Abstract

The main topic of this research work is the vulnerability analysis of open Wi-Fi networks and the information traffic that is generated during a connection between the wireless access point and a user. Different laboratories were carried out within the Augustiniana University, where by using different telecommunications equipment and components different results were generated that help to conclude the behavior, management and operation of the users when making a connection to an open Wi-Fi network.

The development of the research had as a pillar of development the analysis of the different protocols that act in a Wi-Fi connection such as UDP, TCP-IP and security protocols such as SSL, WPA, WPA2, WPE where by simulation of open Wi-Fi networks in controlled environments and making attacks of HOMBRE EN MEDIO by testing the applications most used by students within the University of Augustin such as WhatsApp, Facebook, emails, applications and institutional application such as the SIGA Uniagustiniana, virtual classrooms and the web application from the library.

After carrying out all the tests and with the traffic captured, which was analyzed with the WIRESHARK tool within the KALI LINUX operating system, it can be seen which of these applications used by managers, teachers, administrative staff and students are the most vulnerable
