“…According to Wang et al security testing and auditing can minimize the risk and threats of a computer system (Wang, Wang, Feng, & Pan, 2016). Mohamed et al designed and developed a security auditing tool called SAT (Security Administration Tool) and tested it on three common operating systems (Windows 95/98/NT/2000, Linux, and Solaris) to find their weakness and vulnerabilities.…”

Purpose-This paper concentrates on the comparison of security auditing tools specifying password cracking tools based on different matrices. Passwords are the most popular and dominant means of access control in every authentication process. Every password is vulnerable in the virtual world; all we can do is to delay it for one to break into us. Password cracking used in two opposite intentions; either it can be used for an administrator to protect from unauthorized access and for users to recover forgotten passwords or for an intruder to break into a secure system. Method-A great number of attacks on many systems are related to passwords. Awkwardly, the randomness and length of user-chosen passwords remain the same over time, but in contrast, hardware enhancement continuously gives intruders increasing computational power. So, password cracking has been one of the favorite vulnerable aspects for intruders to gain access to any unauthorized system. Among all available freeware password cracking tools, we choose five renowned tools based on offline and online categories. Results-Cain and Abel is the winner in the offline category, and TCH-Hydra is the winner in the online category in their performance among the tools we have tested. Conclusion-In this paper, the data has been collected by testing each tool several times in different systems as well as all tools in the same system based on different matrices. We have come to a knowledgeable result by comparing data among themselves. The 408 results of the comparison will help in the adoption and usage of these tools and also promote the development and usage of security auditing tools. Recommendations-The results of the comparison will help in the adoption and usage of these tools and also promote the development and usage of security auditing tools.

“…To perform data detection, Aicrack-ng and Airodump-ng were used (Cunche, 2014). To further encourage the use of Wi-Fi at the bus stop, an Access Point was created with Airbase-ng (Wang et al, 2016), so that users could connect to a network. All data were stored on the MicroSD card and uploaded to the cloud at the same time so that the data could be analyzed in real time.…”

Bus passenger counts using Wi-Fi signals: some cautionary findings

Analisa-se a viabilidade de pesquisas sobre usuários de ônibus com base na detecção de endereços MAC WiFi de dispositivos portáteis. A motivação para o estudo decorre da aparente contradição entre casos de sucesso publicados na literatura e resultados de experimentos de campo que realizamos. Requisitos para identificação adequada de passageiros de ônibus são usados como base para avaliar as capacidades do hardware e software de detecção comumente disponíveis. Mais especificamente, os intervalos de tempo decorridos entre as detecções do mesmo dispositivo são tomados como requisito para a determinação do estado do portador do dispositivo e, portanto, a identificação deste como passageiro. Por exemplo, ao realizar pesquisas de embarque e desembarque com equipamentos de detecção instalados a bordo, é necessário que várias detecções ocorram logo após o embarque do passageiro e antes do desembarque, permitindo assim uma estimativa precisa da origem e destino da viagem. Resultados experimentais em ensaios controlados e não controlados indicam que os componentes disponíveis no mercado com software de código aberto podem não fornecer detecções bem-sucedidas. No experimento controlado, encontramos tempos de 40 s para a primeira detecção de 86% dos dispositivos e uma média de 80 s para a segunda detecção de dispositivos. Para o experimento não controlado de viagens em ônibus com carregamento médio, foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre as contagens manuais e os dispositivos detectados. Como resultado dessas observações empíricas, recomenda-se uma avaliação cuidadosa dos esquemas de detecção existentes usados nas pesquisas de número de passageiros.

“…The security study of the WEP algorithm was performed by Vilas Deotare [10]. Wang, S., Wang, J., Feng, C., & Pan have perform analyzing the vulnerabilities and types of attacks on IEEE 802.11 WLAN [14]. IEEE 802.11 is a wireless network which uses radio to transfer data and hence is most susceptible to the security issues such as WPE/WPA/WPA2 cracking, Denial of Service (DoS), and rouge access points [14].…”

A wireless local area Network (WLAN) is being widely recognized as a viable cost effective general purpose solution in providing high speed real time access to information. With a WLAN, users can gain access to shared information without being bound to fixed plug-in-point. WLAN transmit and receive data over the air and thus collectively combine data connectivity with ease of mobility. WLAN provides wireless access to multi location enterprises, small and medium enterprises. It can replace wired LAN or simply be used as extension of wired infrastructure. Besides all these advantages WLAN are also facing major problems of security.So security is the aspect where most of the researchers are working. Following are the major objective of our study : i) To study the various Vulnerabilities and attacks on WLAN and their solutions. ii) To study the some of the exiting security methods used for securing WLAN and explore the possibility of improvements in the same. Our conclusion that WLAN security is not easy, and it is constantly changing. They expose the network to a new group of hackers. All businesses need to determine their security requirements based on the application using the WLAN. Goal so that a WLAN is as protected as Wired LAN.
