Análise técnica das vulnerabilidades de rede sem fio na cidade de Pato Branco - PR

Abstract

In last years with the increasing technological advance in several sectors, one of the areas that suffered the most changes and improvements was the telecommunications area. Both long-distance and short-distance communications have been improved to provide even more convenience to users in general. One of these emerging technologies is the wireless network, which has become a very common item these days. Because of the ease of purchase and installation of factory-standard wireless networking equipment, many users leave their networks with a minimal level of security with easy passwords and other misconfigured features. Even with some security levels it is still possible for unauthorized people to access such "protected" networks. In this study, laboratory tests will be performed to demonstrate some of these vulnerabilities. With the purpose of evidencing this lack or no security present in these networks, a field survey was carried out in certain places of Pato Branco - PR to know the percentage of vulnerable networks in downtown area.
