A Study on MITM (Man in the Middle) Vulnerability in Wireless Network Using 802.1X and EAP
Abstract
The security of wireless LAN is being strengthened through a combination of EAP with an 802.1X-based authentication server, with 802.11i as the standard. As such a security technique effectively defends the existing WEP or protocol vulnerabilities, another approach is needed to prove the vulnerability of the wireless LAN. This paper proposes the wireless MITM (man in the middle) framework, which can actively prove the vulnerability of MITM by applying the MITM technique in the wireless LAN environment, whose security is applied using 802.1X and EAP. It also describes the designing of the required functions and modules. This paper proposes that it is possible to collect the wireless LAN authentication information of the unauthorized user using the designed wireless MLTM-framework under the EAP-MD5 and EAP-TTLS environment.

“For example, in the generic rogue access point attack, the user is deceived by merely seeing it on the list of available WiFi networks [Hwang et al. 2008].”

“In man-in-the-middle rogue access points, the attacker adjusts the user configurable service set identifier (SSID) to match that of a legitimate access point in the environment in which it has been installed [Hwang et al. 2008].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
