Abstract :
Wireless LAN is increasingly common, but it has created a new security threats because hackers do not have to connect the device via a physical network, but just in the same wireless LAN, they can launch an attack on the target device. Driver security is critical for mobile devices, in order to test whether the drivers have security vulnerabilities in design or implementation, we proposed a Fuzzing testing framework, and for the Android mobile device´s Wi-Fi driver, Perform multiple scene tests, results show that this framework is quite effective in confirmation of known vulnerabilities and discovery of unknown threats.
