Study On Wlan Security Measurement Technology

WLAN makes people use network more easily than before. But thetransmission characteristic of the WLAN and the hidden trouble of WLANstandard put off the WLAN development. So it will take the experts more timeto do research and experiments about the WLAN security.After the installation of the WLAN, the net administrator should have a fulltest about the WLAN, such as the Installation survey, Performance testing andSecurity testing. The administrator especially should pay more attention tosecurity. For example, if an attacker put an AP into LAN stealthily, he can sniffall information in the network which he want. So the more you know aboutWLAN security and how to test the WLAN, the more you can do to protectyour network.The research about WLAN security testing technology is at the stage ofbeginning, this paper independently designs a completely set of WLAN testingsolution to protect the security of WLAN, which integrates the advanced testingskills and the experiences of WLAN testing. Use this security solution to do thetest when in the moment of WLAN deposition and running, we can find out thesecurity weakness of the net. Than we can set a feasibility protecting mechanismagainst the attacker's actions, after doing this, we will have a safe WLANenvironment comparatively.According to the solution, the writer of the paper does the experiment in aWLAN environment. After the experiment, we can get a conclusion that theadministrator could find out the security weakness of the net swiftly such asRogue Station, detect the RF signal, and discover the limitations of WLANencryption with this solution. This solution can put the WLAN into a safestation.
