The growing volume of attacks on the Internet has
increased the demand for more robust systems and
sophisticated tools for vulnerability analysis, intrusion
detection, forensic investigations, and possible responses.
Current hacker tools and technologies warrant reengineering
to address cyber crime and homeland security. The being
aware of the flaws on a network is necessary to secure the
information infrastructure by gathering network topology,
intelligence, internal/external vulnerability analysis, and
penetration testing. This paper has as main objective to
minimize damages and preventing the attackers from
exploiting weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the 4 ways
handshake (WIFI).
We equally present a detail study on various attacks and
some solutions to avoid or prevent such attacks in WLAN.
