Why is it important?
Wireless networks are widely used with increasing number of users. Typically, they are based on the IEEE 802.11 standard (Wi-Fi). Because of its broadcast nature, they are very susceptible to security attacks. It is very important to study the risks and potential vulnerabilities of Wi-Fi networks, which will allow defining recommendations for users to enhance their security.
Perspectives
A war-driving technique was used based on a developed Raspberry Pi scanning system. The obtained results are compared with similar ones made in 2008. As guidelines for the future work may be the analysis of newest 802.11ac and 802.11ah networks, and study and comparison of the security level in the wide districts of Varna and region.
