As new
wireless standards are being adopted, the next generation of
wireless
security tools are being developed to combat ever-changing
threats. Wireless deployments are moving from pilot, to production, to
mission critical. However, the bad news is that more wireless devices
means more hackers exploiting the vulnerabilities of wireless LANs.
Wireless has become the new attack frontier. Tools that are currently
being used to attack wireless networks include
WEP cracking,
exploitation of authenticated clients in 802.1x environments,
interception of authentication credentials etc. New stealth tools are
being designed to bypass many security measures making the attackers
invisible to the network and its defenses. This makes most firewalls
obsolete and leaves devices exposed, allowing attackers to send and
manipulate data and exploit devices at will. These efforts are well
organized, well financed and intensely motivated leading to a dangerous
onset of organized crime. This is the “War of the Airwaves”.
