Wireless Security

A curated set of web resources on securing wireless networks — from WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 fundamentals to home router hardening, wireless auditing tools, and academic research on secure mobile networking.

About this collection

Wireless networks broadcast data over open air, making them inherently more exposed than wired networks. Understanding the evolution of Wi-Fi security protocols — from the flawed WEP standard through WPA, WPA2, and now WPA3 — along with practical hardening steps and auditing tools, is essential for protecting any wireless deployment. The resources below cover the fundamentals, home network hardening guides, and deeper technical and research material.
