Wireless networks provide convenient and low cost mechanism for connecting network devices. They are ideal since they do not require physical connections .They therefore help to overcome the port limitations of the physical hardware. Any device that has radio receiver can detect these wireless signals. This is because a wireless router transmits the signals uniformly in all directions. The ease with which connections can be established forms one of the weaknesses of wireless networks. They are therefore exposed to many attacks as these attacks can be launched from a remote location, unlike in wired networks where one needs physical connections to the network of interest. To overcome this challenge, authentication protocols have been developed to deter any illicit access to wireless networks. These protocols include Wired Equivalent Privacy(WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) is the later version of WPA. The objective of this research paper was to demonstrate that WPA2 can still be broken, hence compromising on the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA) of the data being transmitted in wireless networks. Data Confidentiality, Integrity and availability has been referred to as the CIA triad in this paper. The set up was implemented in Ubuntu 12.04 operating system using Ettercap, File2air, Khexedit , Wireshark and Airodump-ng from Aircrack-ng suite. The results indicated that WPA2 does not actually protect data in transit in wireless networks, and therefore there is need to explore other technologies that can secure wireless networks.
The purpose of this paper was to develop a usage model for interactive technologies for university marketing strategies, using a combination of the task technology fit (TTF) model and the information systems acceptance (ISA) model. Interactive technologies enables the universities to inexpensively engage their customers in one-to-one. Over the years relationship marketing has emerged as a popular new paradigm in marketing. It has been proposed as the newest mainstream school of thought in marketing, beyond the twelve commonly accepted schools, that is, commodity, functional, regional, institutional, functionalist, managerial, buyer behavior, activist, macro-marketing, organizational dynamics, systems, and social exchange.The target population of the study was universities marketing departments within Kisii County. A quantitative research design was adopted and random sampling method was used to select respondents. Data was collected by means of questionnaires. Many universities are increasingly strengthening their marketing strategies by effectively interacting with their customers. This is normally done with the help of interactive technologies, such as interactive telephone, internet and digital technologies, in an integrated manner. However, there exists no model that tries to explain the factors behind the utilization patterns of these gadgets.

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.
