Hacking 101: Intro to WiFi
We all use it, but do you know how WiFi actually works? Are you taking
it for granted that your WiFi network is secure? Would you know where
to look to find out if your network is suffering from interference or
is vulnerable to hackers?
In cybersecurity, it is imperative that you can answer these
questions. In this beginner-level workshop, you’ll gain an
understanding of how WiFi works and dive into the strategies used to
keep WiFi networks secure from malicious hackers, or just from nosy
neighbors who might take advantage of your lack of security.
This 101 will give you a deeper understanding of this everyday tool.
We’ll not only take a closer look at the logistics behind WiFi, but
also best practices for securing your WiFi connection. Most
importantly, we’ll introduce you to spectrum analyzers and help you
answer the timeless question: Why does my WiFi suck sometimes?
