19-First Layer Network Hack: Importance of Strong WiFi Password
With the consumer demand, vendor solutions and industry standards, wireless network technology is factual and is here to stay. Wireless Local Area Networks or WiFi networks are a priority nowadays. To fulfill the wireless demands, WiFi product vendors and service contributors are exploding up as quickly as possible. A strong Wi-Fi password can prevent hackers from accessing a wireless network, viewing traffic and even stealing sensitive data. Yet, Wi-Fi is not unbreakable. Hence, we created a simple application for regular users to generate strong Wi-Fi passwords. We verify the effectiveness of our solution by ethically hacking the Wi-Fi password. To improve efficiency, we created a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application by integrating the common password cracking tools. Our GUI penetration testing tool is less labor intensive and resource hungry to find password vulnerabilities and to protect the networks from attackers.
