Part 7: Various Aspects of Computer SecurityInternational audienceClients of public hotspots are exposed to various threats including a man–in–the–middle attacks. To stress existing threats we created the Evil-AP application for demonstrating a man–in–the–middle attack. The application, installed on an Android phone with root permissions, turns on hotspot services and performs network redirection. We tested as the proposed techniques can be used to eavesdrop, redirect, inject, and strip the Internet traffic. A mobility of the created solution together with the wide functionality creates an extremely dangerous tool. Therefore, we concluded our work with good practices that allow the users to avoid similar threats as described in our work
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
