892.1x

Back 1

The IEEE standard that defines port-based security for wireless network access control.

Front 2

AP

Back 2

Access Point. The point at which access to a network is accomplished. This term is often used in relation to wireless access point.

Front 3

Bluejacking

Back 3

The sending of unsolicited messages over a Bluetooth connection

Front 4

Bluesnarfing

Back 4

The gaining of unauthorized access through Bluetooth connection

Front 5

Disassociation

Back 5

An attack in which the Intruder sends a frame to the AP with a spoofed address to make it look like it came from the victim and disconnects them from the network.

Also known as a deauthorization attack.

Front 6

Evil Twin

Back 6

An attack in which a rogue wireless access point poses as a legitimate wireless service provider to intercept information that users transmit.

Front 7

Interference

Back 7

A byproduct of electrical processes. One common form of interference is Radio Frequency Interference RFI, which is usually projected across the radio spectrum

Front 8

IV Attack

Back 8

Initialization Vector Attack. An attack that involves looking at repeated results in order to crack the WEP secret key

Front 9

Jamming

Back 9

Purposely obstructing or interfering with a signal

Front 10

NFC

Back 10

Near Field Communication. Technology that enables communication between devices when they're touched together. Often use to verify that the device is persistent. Often uses RFID or Wi-Fi

Front 11

RFID

Back 11

Radio Frequency Identification. It technology that incorporates the use of electromagnetic coupling in the radio frequency(RF) portion of the spectrum to identify items uniquely.

Front 12

Replay attack

Back 12

An attack that captures portions of a session to play back later to convince a host that it is still talking to the original connection

Front 13

Rouge Access Point

Back 13

An unauthorized wireless access point on a network

Front 14

SSID

Back 14

Service Set Identifier. Used by the access point of a wireless LAN to identify itself and is intended to be unique for a particular area / entity on a network.

Front 15

Wi-Fi

Back 15

A wireless network operating in the 2.4 gigahertz or 5 gigahertz range.

Front 16

WPS

Back 16

Wi-Fi protected setup. An Authentication process that requires the user to do something in order to complete the enrollment process. Examples include pressing a button on the router within a short time period, entering in pin, or bringing the new device close.

Front 17

WEP

Back 17

Wired Equivalent Privacy. A security protocol for 802.11b(wireless) networks that attempts to establish the same security for them as would be present in a wired Network.

Front 18

WAP

Back 18

Wireless Access Point. A connection device used for clients in a radio frequency Network.

Front 19

Cloaking

Back 19

Hiding and turning off SSID broadcasting.

Front 20

Site survey

Back 20

Listening in on an existing wireless network in order to gather intelligence and possibly captured data to learn information about the network.

Front 21

TKIP

Back 21

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. Places a 128-bit wrapper around the WEP encryption with a key that is based on things such as the MAC address of the destination device and the serial number of the packet.
