In modern companies,<br \/>\nan intruder can access wired LANs from a wall jack or Ethernet wires, and wireless LANs can be accessed by<br \/>\nradio through an unprotected wireless access point. After gaining this access, an intruder can use a packet<br \/>\nsniffer to detect, intercept, and read traffic. To prevent this from happening, access controls must be utilized in<br \/>\nboth wired (Ethernet) networks and wireless networks.<br \/>\nEthernet LAN security utilizes standards such as 802.1X (port-based access control), extensible<br \/>\nauthentication protocol (EAP), and radius servers\u2014each of which functions in different ways and contains<br \/>\ndifferent authorization, audit, and authentication features. These standards and protocols are detailed in your<br \/>\nChapter 4 readings.<br \/>\nWireless networks are often attacked using one of three major attack forms:<br \/>\n1. unauthorized access to the network;<br \/>\n2. an attack using an \u201cevil twin,\u201d which is also known as a man-in-the-middle attack; or<br \/>\n3. wireless DoS attacks, which are similar to the DoS attacks we discussed earlier in that their main aim<br \/>\nis to negatively impact the availability of a network.<br \/>\nThese attacks prevent the host from accessing a wireless network by utilizing tactics such as flooding the<br \/>\nfrequency with electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). These tactics make<br \/>\ndata packets unreadable due to \u201cnoise,\u201d or disturbances in the electrical signal. Another method is to flood the<br \/>\naccess point (AP), which would result in the AP using all of its resources to send and receive attack packets<br \/>\nand thereby effectively deny access to any other host. Lastly, attack commands can be sent to APs or clients<br \/>\nthat result in a continuous stream of spoofed messages, request-to-send (RTS) frames, or clear-to-send<br \/>\n(CTS) frames that prevent clients from connecting to the AP. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are responsible for strengthening the controls on the network.
