QQ1. Write and explain in detail any five attacks on wi-fi networks scripting (XSS).
- Deauthentication attacks force clients off Wi-Fi by sending forged deauthentication frames.
- Evil Twin attacks use rogue APs mimicking legitimate networks to intercept user traffic.
- WEP cracking exploits Initialization Vector (IV) reuse to recover the WEP key due to weak encryption.
- WPA/WPA2-PSK cracking captures the 4-way handshake for offline dictionary or brute-force attacks.
Answer: Wi-Fi networks, while providing convenient wireless access, are susceptible to various attacks that can compromise data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The question's inclusion of "scripting (XSS)" alongside "attacks on Wi-Fi networks" requires clarification, as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is primarily a web application vulnerability, not a direct attack on the Wi-Fi network's infrastructure itself. However, a compromised Wi-Fi network can act as a vector to facilitate XSS attacks. ...
