Wireless Security Protocols Explained: WEP, WPA, WPA2 & WPA3 📡🔐

Understanding wireless security protocols is essential for protecting your network from unauthorized access and ensuring data confidentiality.

📘 Key Protocols & Their Characteristics:

1. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
• Introduced in 1997
• Weak encryption (RC4), easily cracked
• Deprecated and insecure

2. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
• Interim solution after WEP
• Improved encryption with TKIP
• Still vulnerable to certain attacks

3. WPA2
• Widely used today
• Uses AES-based CCMP encryption
• Supports enterprise (RADIUS) and personal (PSK) modes

4. WPA3
• Latest standard with stronger security
• Resistant to brute-force attacks
• Supports SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals)
• Enhanced encryption and forward secrecy

Why it matters:
Choosing the right wireless protocol significantly affects your network’s resilience against common attack vectors such as packet sniffing, replay attacks, and credential theft.

Wireless Penetration Testing Tools You Should Know 📡🔐

Wireless networks can be a critical attack surface if not properly secured. These tools are widely used in authorized lab environments to assess the strength of Wi-Fi configurations and encryption protocols.

Use cases include:
• Testing weak encryption (WEP/WPA)
• Detecting rogue access points
• Capturing and analyzing authentication handshakes
• Teaching wireless attack vectors in controlled labs

Turn off WEP on your Galaxy S25 to increase security

One of the new features introduced in the brand new Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S25, allows you to determine whether your phone is allowed to connect to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Wi-Fi networks. Unfortunately, it’s turned on by default, despite the option that says that WEP is “an older security protocol that’s less secure.”

Over the years, people and security experts have constantly discouraged using WEP as a security protocol for Wi-Fi access points as it can be hijacked very easily due to weaknesses related to RC4 that were disclosed back in 2001. This document explained how such cipher, along with the initialization vector (IV), were exploited that resulted in a passive attack that could recover the RC4 key.

In general, WEP is insecure. Luckily, on your Galaxy S25, you can configure your smartphone to forbid connections to WEP-protected access points using this new configuration switch in the below menu:

Follow the steps to disallow connections to WEP networks:

1. Open the Settings app
2. Navigate to Connections > Wi-Fi > three dotted menu button > Advanced settings
3. Toggle the Allow WEP networks entry off

Upon turning it off, your phone will no longer be able to connect to such networks. You’ll then be only able to connect to WPA-protected networks, especially those protected with WPA3. We recommend doing this after either obtaining the Galaxy S25 or updating your eligible device to One UI 7.

The best solution to those relying on those networks is to either switch to WPA3 protection if you’re managing them yourself, or contact your network administrator for more info. You can consult your router manual for more info about changing the network protection method.

The Sony PlayStation Portable supports 802.11b WiFi, but when it first shipped it only supported WEP security. Sony added support for WPA-TKIP and WPA-PSK via firmware updates. But 20 years after launch, an *unofficial* firmware update adds WPA2 support. https://buff.ly/3X35IV3 #WPA2 #PSP #PlayStationPortable

Почему соединения WPA3 разрываются через 11 часов

В 2018 году началась сертификация первых устройств Wi-Fi с поддержкой нового протокола безопасности WPA3, а в последующие года WPA3 стал привычной функцией для всего нового оборудования, включая маршрутизаторы, одноплатники вроде Raspberry Pi и т. д. Но иногда технология вызывает совершенно неожиданные и необъяснимые сбои. Некоторые пользователи начали сообщать о странном баге, когда беспроводные соединения WPA3 разрываются через 11 часов по непонятной причине.

Dem kann man nur zustimmen. Mittlerweile gilt ja der #WPA2-Standard ebenfalls als kompromittiert, weswegen es wohl für versierte #Hacker ein Leichtes ist, #Daten abzusaugen. Da wird ein #VPN fast zur Pflicht, denn dann saugen #Kriminelle und #Schlapphüte nur noch geschredderte Daten, da verschlüsselt.
