Abstract

The content in the present paper reviews the attack carried out to decipher WEP, WPA, and WPA2 passwords using a tool named Fluxion. Before understanding how the tool works, brief information about the security protocols is given so that comprehending the attack more undoubtedly. At the same time, we compare Fluxion to other pre-existing tools used to crack Wi-Fi passwords and then list out the major differences between them. This comparison is done to evaluate the efficacy and success rate of Fluxion. In conclusion, this research and attack are performed to provide a deeper insight into WEP, WPA, and WPA2 cracking.
