Evaluation of the WPA2-PSK wireless network security protocol using the Linset and Aircrack-ng tools

Due to the emergence of new techniques and technologies of intrusion, the wireless network protocols have become obsolete; for this reason, this research seeks to violate and evaluate the security of the WPA2 protocol that is widely used by the Colombian service providers.

description Due to the emergence of new techniques and technologies of intrusion, the wireless network protocols have become obsolete; for this reason, this research seeks to violate and evaluate the security of the WPA2 protocol that is widely used by the Colombian service providers. The first section of this paper introduces the WPA2 protocol by describing its operation and the potential attacks it may suffer; the second part details the methodology used to collect the tests data and to carry out the evaluation necessary for the preparation of this article. In addition, we present the Linset and Aircrack-ng tools for auditing wireless networks that were selected to assess the security of the protocol. Finally, we show the results and conclusions.

Debido al surgimiento de nuevas técnicas y tecnologías de intrusión, los protocolos de redes inalámbricas quedan obsoletos; para ello se busca vulnerar la seguridad del protocolo WPA2, que es ampliamente usado por los proveedores de servicios colombianos. En la primera parte, el artículo hace una introducción del protocolo WPA2, describiendo su funcionamiento y los ataques de los cuales puede ser objeto; en la segunda parte se muestra la metodología que se usó para recolectar pruebas y realizar la evaluación necesaria para la elaboración de este documento. Se presentan las herramientas para auditoria de las redes inalámbricas Linset y Aircrack-ng, las cuales fueron seleccionadas para la evaluación de seguridad del protocolo. Finalmente, se muestran los resultados y las conclusiones.
