21. PCWorld.com - New Flaws Found in Wireless Security
- www.pcworld.com
- 11 Wireless > New Flaws Found in Wireless Security WPA may be less secure than WEP, the standard it is supposed to replace. Paul Roberts, IDG News Service Friday, November 07, 2003 A new paper by a leading security expert says that the new Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security standard may be less secure, in certain scenarios, than WEP, the wireless standard it was designed to replace. ...
- In the paper, "Weakness in Passphrase Choice in WPA Interface," Robert Moskowitz, a senior technical director at ICSA Labs, part of TruSecure, describes a number of problems with the new WPA standard, including the ability of attackers to "sniff" critical information from wireless traffic and to discover the value of a wireless network's security key. ...
- New and Improved? WPA is a new security standard based on work by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) on the 802. 11i wireless security standard. ...
- WPA is intended to replace Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the most common standard for securing data on wireless networks. WPA offers a number of security improvements over WEP, including better data encryption and the ability to authenticate users on large networks using a separate authentication service such as Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, before allowing them to join the network, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance, a wireless industry group. ...
- 11i wireless security standard and WPA. ...
- As with WEP, wireless users can use passphrases for the PSK, which can range from 8 to 63 bytes. Most wireless equipment makers allow only a single PSK to be used on a wireless network, Moskowitz said. ...
- Open to Attack Moskowitz writes that the method that WPA devices use to conduct "handshakes," or exchanges of information that are used to generate data encryption keys for wireless sessions, allows attackers who do not know a PSK to guess it using what is known as a "dictionary" attack. ...
- In dictionary attacks, attackers capture (or "sniff") wireless network traffic in transit between the access point and the wireless workstation, then use specialized software programs to guess the key. ...
- Other wireless security standards are also vulnerable to such attacks. ... More recently, a security expert showed that Cisco Systems' Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) standard is vulnerable to dictionary attacks too. ...
- Password Protection Passphrases with fewer than 20 characters are unlikely to withstand a dictionary attack, and attackers who miss those four packets in transit can easily trick a wireless access point into doing a new "handshake" and sending the packets to the attacker again, he said. ...
- Attackers who already know the PSK and have joined a wireless network as trusted members could further exploit shortcomings in the WPA handshake to guess another user's unique "session key," which would enable them to listen in on that user's wireless session, capturing information they were sending out on a corporate network or to the Internet, Moskowitz said. That could spell trouble for corporations that allow contractors or other trusted third parties onto their wireless networks, he said. ...
22. Wireless Security Auditor (WSA)
- www.research.ibm.com
- Wireless Security Auditor (WSA).
- 11 wireless LAN security auditor, running on Linux on an iPAQ PDA. WSA automatically audits a wireless network for proper security configuration, to help network administrators close any vulnerabilities before the hackers try to break in. ... 11 network analyzers out there (wlandump, ethereal, Sniffer), these tools are aimed at protocol experts who want to capture wireless packets for detailed analysis. WSA is intended for the more general audience of network installers and administrators, who want a way to easily and quickly verify the security configuration of their networks, without having to understand any of the details of the 802. ... 11 Security Issues.
- 11 standard defines two security protocols: Shared Key authentication was designed to provide secure access control, and WEP encryption was designed to provide confidentiality. ... As the SSID and MAC addresses are transmitted in the clear, they really don't provide any meaningful security, and are trivially bypassed. ...
- There are several security issues with these protocols. ... If these protocols are not turned on in even one access point, it is trivial for hackers to connect to the network, using standard wireless cards and drivers. ... ) If, as is often the case, the wireless network is connected directly to a corporate intranet, this gives the hackers direct access to the intranet, bypassing any internet boundary firewalls. ...
- The wireless network needs to be checked periodically, as access points are easily added and modified, and .
- The wireless auditing tool needs to look at the actual wireless signals, as the needed information may not be available from the wired side. To monitor the wireless data, the auditor needs to be small an lightweight, so that it can be easily carried around a site to ensure thorough checking. ...
23. Article: Wireless access point
- www.wikipedia.org
- Wireless access point.
- A wireless access point (WAP or AP) is a device that "connects" wireless communication devices together to create a wireless network. A wireless access point acts as the network's arbitrator, negotiating when each nearby client device can transmit. ... 11 or "Wireless Ethernet" access point connecting an Ethernet network to so-called "Wi-Fi" devices, but other devices (such as those connecting mobile phones to wired phone networks) can also be considered WAPs. In Wi-Fi parlance, a network with at least one active wireless access point doing its duty is said to be a managed network or an infrastructure network. ...
- Wireless access points with easy installation and low cost (at first glance) rapidly grew in popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. ... While wiring a business, home, or school often requires stringing many cables through walls and ceilings, wireless networking offers the ability to cut down on the number of cables strung or, in some cases, remove them entirely. Wireless networks also give users greater mobility freeing individuals from the need to be stuck at a computer tied to the wall. On the industrial and commercial side, wireless networking has had a big impact on operations: employees are often armed with PDTs having barcode scanners and wireless links, allowing them to update work progress and inventory in real-time. ...
- However, communication range varies a lot in the wireless world. ...
- A typical corporate use of WAPs is to attach one to the wired network and then provide wireless client adapters for users who need them. Within the range of the access point, the wireless end-user has a full network connection with the benefit of mobility. ...
- Another topography is called a lily pad network: a series of access points spread over a large area, each connected to a different network, providing hot spots where wireless clients can connect to the Internet without regard for the particular networks to which it's attached at the moment. The concept is somewhat accidental in large cities, where a combination of coffeehouses, libraries, and other public spaces offering wireless access allow clients to roam over a large area (i. ...
- Additionally, the range of wireless access points can be extended through the use of repeaters and reflectors, which can bounce and/or amplify radio signals that ordinarily couldn't be received. ...
- However, wireless devices often take time to "listen" for other data traffic in the area on different frequencies, and are able to rapidly switch from one frequency to another when moving into an area that has better reception on a different AP. ... There can be enough overlap between the wireless networks of several businesses to cause interference because there just aren't any more frequencies available. ...

- Pescatore: The current generation of security in wireless LANs local area networks is horrible. ... But we have to remember that there are two types of wireless: local area networks, and the cellular world. ... In the wireless LAN world, there are really two risks. ... For example, when Gartner had a wireless conference in San Diego, we set up a wireless LAN that the attendees could connect to -- they found that they could also see lots of information coming from businesses across the street that were using wireless LANs. ...
- If you are using a cell phone or PDA to access your corporate e-mail, what kind of security threats does that bring up? .
- That does a good job at the over-the-air security. ...
- What about before the e-mail gets sent through the air; does it have to go through a step between your company’s normal e-mail system and one that sends it to wireless devices? .
- In order to send your corporate e-mail out to wireless devices, you do have to put a gateway in. Pretty strong security has been built into most gateways. ...
- Those new technologies are mostly just different ways of carrying the same information, and the security protections will be at a higher level.
