Ethical Hacking: Wireless Hacking

Overview

Wireless hacking refers to the unauthorized access or usage of a wireless network. A hacker can change the network settings, software and other security components of a network after hacking into a wireless network. Certain networks require the hackers to possess a high level of technological skills, while some other networks require minimal technological skills from the hackers. With the increase in the use of wireless networks in the current world, the usage and unauthorized access to wireless networks has also increased.
