Wireless Communication Attack Using SDR and Low-Cost Devices

Abstract

While Wireless communication (WLC) enhances the user mobility and extends the connection and services to extreme isolated points, is the only way to establish a connection over long distance (mainly earth and space), it has many weak points: Interference, Spectrum limitations, bandwidth cost, various regulations, etc. But the major drawback is the security and risk vulnerabilities. To clarify this idea and highlight several security issues, we are working on the weak points of our wireless networks and communication protocols. In this manuscript, we develop several scenarios of Wireless attacks using simple and lowprice equipment. Indeed using Software Defined Radio (SDR), a potential hacker can now access a wide range of wireless-based communication like Keyless entry, GPS and RFID system. It can also interfer and jam several other WLC services and networks.
