Boas práticas em segurança de redes sem fio domésticas

Abstract

Local wireless networks (wlan) are widespread and used in the homes of internet users, it is a resource that facilitates, gives mobility and makes our connection with the world wide web more practical, however, brings with it some security concerns. The present work, sought to list common risks in the use of this technology through bibliographic research, then testing some of the weaknesses found and how to eliminate them or reduce the possibility of their exploitation. During the development of the work, some networks were found using protocols that were discontinued for a long time, and in controlled invasion tests, the most modern encryption and access protocols combined with more complex passwords showed better results. Finally, a table was created with some regular weaknesses and their respective solution or response to reduce their risk, in order to establish a quick guide to good practices in the configuration of home wireless networks, increasing their respective security.
