Abstract
Wireless networks face numerous security challenges, among which Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks pose a significant threat. The Multi-Channel MitM (MC-MitM) attack, an advanced form of MitM, exploits wireless communications between clients and Access Points (APs) without needing legitimate Wi-Fi passphrases. This attack can be carried out on both personal and enterprise networks, regardless of the Wi-Fi encryption standard used.
This seminar will explain how MC-MitM attacks are launched and will discuss strategies to improve security against these attacks. We will propose practical intrusion detection solutions that are adaptable to various wireless environments, especially IoT, where security is paramount yet challenging to maintain.
