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 ...

But even with Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (the latest security standard) enabled, hackers can exploit vulnerabilities to crack your Wi-Fi security. Here’s how to combat these weaknesses. The most ...

Mathy Vanhoef, a postdoctoral researcher at Belgian university KU Leuven, has discovered and disclosed major vulnerabilities in the WPA2 protocol that secures all modern protected Wi-Fi networks.

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 ...

If you set WPA/WPA2 security protocol on your home or small business wireless router, and you think your Wi-Fi is secure, there are two recently released brute force tools that attackers may use to ...

One of the things that makes Wi-Fi work is its ability to break big chunks of data into smaller chunks and combine smaller chunks into bigger chunks, depending on the needs of the network at any given ...

If you think picking a complicated password is all the protection your Wi-Fi needs, think again. I thought my Wi-Fi was secure—until I really checked out my Wi-Fi and router settings. Encryption is ...

Unsecured Wi-Fi networks can attract unwanted users who slow speeds and threaten security, but identifying and removing them is easier than most people think.
