Security Analysis of Modern Wi-fi Network Protection Protocols: Assessment of Wpa3 Protocol Resistance During Attacks Based on Dragonblood Utility

With the constant development of information technology and the growing threat of cyber attacks, the security of Wi-Fi wireless networks is of particular relevance. This article aims to provide an in-depth analysis of modern Wi-Fi security protocols such as WPA2, WPA3, and OWE, focusing on their strengths and weaknesses in securing the network against the most common types of attacks.

This paper looks at wireless network security threats, including man-in-the-middle attacks, Wi-Fi access point phishing, and exploits that target specific security mechanisms. An important part of the research is a description of test methods, attack tools such as Aircrack-ng and Wireshark, and a detailed analysis of the results obtained.

This work focuses on a detailed security analysis of the WPA3 protocol, using Dragonblood utilities to identify possible vulnerabilities in its implementation. Through targeted attacks and simulations that mimic real-world cyberattacks, the goal is to identify potential breaches of secure wireless networks using WPA3. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of the encryption and authentication mechanisms used within the framework of this standard and develop recommendations for increasing the level of security of information systems. During the study, practical experiments will be conducted to modify the code of the wireless access point server, and data obtained using the Wireshark program will be analyzed to assess the impact of attacks on the functionality of the network. The results of the work highlight the need for continuous improvements in Wi-Fi security technologies to provide reliable security in the face of growing cyber threats.
