Abstract :
The wireless local area network commonly uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption technology. Although it has encryption mechanism, but the WEP encryption mechanism has serious structural design deficiencies. In this article, we focus on the IEEE 802.11, hacker attack methods and WEP wireless networks to carry out instructions. Furthermore, the DoS / DDoS attacks also have become the most serious network security problems. Therefore, we use NS2 simulation to analyze the DoS / DDoS attacks and actual test common hacker using a wireless network to hacking, cracking WEP in actual operation.
