Abstract: The aim of this task is to analyse the state of security of Wi-Fi networks, which have recent been put into question due to the discovery of new vulnerabilities. In the first part of the project basic concepts of these types of networks will be presented and the security protocols will be analysed in order to protect them. Subsequently, the main existing vulnerabilities will be studied in the protocols of security analysing in detail the recent KRACK attacks on the protocols WPA/WPA2 and EVIL TWIN attacks which are difficult to avoid. Through different proofs of concept it will be proven in a practical way, how some of the most relevant attacks on Wi-Fi networks, which are analysed in this task, are carried out. Security recommendations will be proposed to eliminate or mitigate the vulnerabilities of the studied protocols and improve the security of the Wi-Fi networks in different types of environments such as domestic or business ones. At the same time, the risks derived from the use of public Wi-Fi networks will be analysed proposing a series of recommendations to improve security when those types of networks are used. At the end of this task, the new characteristics of the new WPA3 protocol will be studied, which should see the light of this year, called for to solve the majority of the present security problems in Wi-Fi networks. Finally, the conclusions found whilst carrying out this task will be presented.
