    Created by Cisco and introduced in 2006, the purpose of the protocol is to allow home users who know little of wireless security and may be intimidated by the available security options to set up Wi-Fi Protected Access, as well as making it easy to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases. It is used by devices ...

    Also referred to as WPA-PSK (pre-shared key) mode, this is designed for home, small office and basic uses and does not require an authentication server. [24] Each wireless network device encrypts the network traffic by deriving its 128-bit encryption key from a 256-bit shared key .

  4. Wireless security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_security

    Wireless security is another aspect of computer security. Organizations may be particularly vulnerable to security breaches [6] caused by rogue access points.. If an employee adds a wireless interface to an unsecured port of a system, they may create a breach in network security that would allow access to confidential materials.

  5. Cross-site request forgery - Wikipedia

    The attacker must find a form submission at the target site, or a URL that has side effects, that does something (e.g., transfers money, or changes the victim's e-mail address or password). The attacker must determine the right values for all the forms or URL inputs; if any of them are required to be secret authentication values or IDs that the ...

  6. Address Resolution Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_Resolution_Protocol

    This function can be dangerous from a cybersecurity viewpoint since an attacker can obtain information about the other hosts of its subnet to save in their ARP cache (ARP spoofing) an entry where the attacker MAC is associated, for instance, to the IP of the default gateway, thus allowing them to intercept all the traffic to external networks.

  7. ARP spoofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_spoofing

    A successful ARP spoofing (poisoning) attack allows an attacker to alter routing on a network, effectively allowing for a man-in-the-middle attack.. In computer networking, ARP spoofing (also ARP cache poisoning or ARP poison routing) is a technique by which an attacker sends Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages onto a local area network.

  8. Phishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing

    (For example, a user must both present a smart card and a password). This mitigates some risk, in the event of a successful phishing attack, the stolen password on its own cannot be reused to further breach the protected system. However, there are several attack methods which can defeat many of the typical systems. [137]

  9. Default gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

    In a home or small office environment, the default gateway is a device, such as a DSL router or cable router, that connects the local network to the Internet. It serves as the default gateway for all network devices. Enterprise network systems may require many internal network segments. A device wishing to communicate with a host on the public ...
