Abstract : Wireless technology offers many benefits such as convenience, mobility, portability, flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation costs. Risk is inherent in any wireless technology. It has increased exponentially as the service become more popular. Crackers and hackers have found wireless networks relatively easy to break into, and even use wireless technology to crack into non-wireless networks. The objective of this thesis is to analyze, evaluate and compare the IEEE 802.11 wireless technology standards including its weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It will also evaluate counteracting risks method. I will demonstrate the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the IEEE 802.11 wireless technology by setting up a wireless access point (AP) and use one of the tools available to public to crack its encryption algorithm and reveal the access key of the network. Finally, possible solutions/ methods can for optimum wireless networks security will be presented. The research involves analyzing, evaluating and comparing the IEEE 802.11 wireless technology standards. It will also involve identifying wireless networks threats and presenting methods for counteracting risks/threats. Encryption protocols used in wireless technology will be review. Finally possible solution to secure wireless networks will be presented.
