Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is an alternative in overcoming cabling problems in a local network. Often wireless network security that is installed still uses vendor default settings such as SSID, IP Address, remote management, DHCP enabled, frequency channels, without encryption, even user or password for wireless administration. How does a strong WLAN security system work? The most common security system applied to wireless networks at this time is starting from securing access points by applying the MAC Filtering concept, using WPA / WPA2-PSK security keys, and RADIUS server authentication. To see the quality of wireless LAN network security, how do you analyze the test of the existing security system in the network. The method that can be used in evaluating wireless networks is by testing the system by simulating forms of attacks on wireless networks with the Penetration Testing method. By carrying out 4 stages of research using the penetration testing method (i) the planning stage, (ii) the discovery stage, (iii) the attack stage and (iv) the report stage, from the attack stage (Cracking The Encryption, Bypassing MAC Address, Attacking The Infrastructure and MITM ) using Kali Linux got the results of four types of attacks carried out, only one of which was failed, namely the cracking attack type of the encryption on the RADIUS server due to using captive portal authentication

This study evaluates the current state of wireless network security in the CBD of Nuku'alofa. Wireless Networks have grown significantly since their introduction. Security protocols supplied with the wireless equipment have reached a level of strong and robust security. However, security remains a problem; this study aims to answer two questions. What is the status of wireless network growth and security in Tonga? and what can be done to improve wireless network security in Tonga. The war-drive results of Nuku'alofa produced comprehensive data which clearly shows the number of networks, both company and home networks. An exploratory research approach is employed to guide the design of the study. The results show that there is a significant growth in terms of WLAN usage since the implementation of the fiber optic network. However, this study concludes that WLAN security in Nuku'alofa is still in its early stages.

In order to solve wireless local area network (WLAN) security problem due to the open-wide nature of wireless radio and the improvement of computing power, a design of WLAN security program based on near field communication (NFC) is presented in this paper. In this paper, the importance of having access to handshake for WPA2 brute force is explained. The proposed design protects the four-way handshake by taking advantage of NFC short-range character to eliminate the risk of intercept. For implementation, Android system is selected as a mobile device development platform. The design is compatible with the IEEE 802.11i which ensures the massive expansion in the future. Furthermore, the design simplifies operations to improve users’ experience without much extra hardware cost and offers an option to the owner of WLAN to control the access physically, which benefits commercialization of NFC. From one perspective, this design can solve the wireless network security problem effectively.KeywordsWireless Local Area NetworkNear Field CommunicationWireless RouterDictionary AttackAndroid SystemThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Aiming at the problems of traditional wireless communication network security vulnerability monitoring systems such as low monitoring accuracy and time-consuming, a machine learning-based intelligent monitoring system for wireless communication network security vulnerabilities is proposed. In the hardware design of the monitoring system, based on the overall architecture of the wireless communication network and the data characteristics of the wireless communication network, it is divided into a vulnerability data collection module, a vulnerability data scanning module, and a network security vulnerability intelligent monitoring module. In the vulnerability data collection module, the wireless data collector is used to collect vulnerability data in the vulnerability database, and according to the attributes of the vulnerability data, the XSS vulnerability detection plug-in is connected to the vulnerability scanner to scan for wireless communication network vulnerabilities; When the communication network vulnerability data signal is traced, the system session operation of monitoring the vulnerability data. The software part introduces the neural network algorithm in the machine learning intelligent algorithm to process the hidden data in the security vulnerability data. The experimental results show that the wireless communication network security vulnerability intelligent monitoring system based on machine learning can effectively improve the system monitoring accuracy and the efficiency of wireless communication network security vulnerability monitoring.

Cyberbullying has emerged as a pervasive issue in today''''''''s digitally connected society, with detrimental effects on individuals’ mental health and well-being. Despite increasing awareness and efforts to address cyberbullying, there remains a significant gap in utilizing wireless network security measures as a means of mitigation. The existing literature predominantly focuses on social and psychological aspects of cyberbullying, overlooking the potential role of wireless network security in prevention and intervention strategies. This research seeks to fill this gap by exploring the effectiveness of leveraging wireless network security to secure cyberspace against cyberbullying incidents. The research employs a multifaceted methodology, beginning with the estimation of expected rates and derivative risks of cyberbullying within wireless networks. These metrics are combined into a risk index value, which serves as a basis for prioritizing mitigation efforts. Additionally, the study explores the application of cyberspace modeling techniques, specifically Support Vector Machines (SVM), to enhance screening processes and identify potential cyberbullying incidents on Wireless Network Security (WNS). The findings of this research demonstrate the efficacy of integrating wireless network security measures into cyberbullying prevention strategies. By combining risk index values and leveraging SVM-based cyberspace modeling, the study identifies and prioritizes cyberbullying risks effectively. Furthermore, the implementation of wireless network security protocols contributes to a reduction in cyberbullying incidents, fostering safer digital environments for users.
