Vulnerabilities of radio frequencies

Despite current advancements in today´s technologies, radio frequencies are still unprotected and continues to be an achilles heel of technology. A simple telephonic radio frequency (RF) can be intercepted with the use of a baby monitor. Many don´t seem to understand the risks involved regarding with radio frequencies. This paper will discuss the vulnerabilities of common everyday wireless devices due to radio frequencies. The biggest vulnerability radio frequencies possess are that they can be easily intercepted when devices transmit on the same frequency levels; the lowest frequencies are the most easily received. The Raspberry Pi is a device that can be used to intercept these transmissions. A few ways to protect against radio frequency attacks will be mentioned. Air-hopper is a malware program that uses radio frequencies and key-logging to attack vulnerable devices. The goal of this paper is to shed light on the weaknesses of today´s every day wireless devices and to open the minds to those who think lightly of the matter of information security.
