The station sends


an authentication
request to the AP
2

The AP sends a
challenge text to
the station

The station
encrypts the
challenge text
using its
configured 64-bit
or 128-bit key and
sends the
encrypted text to
the AP.

The AP uses its


configured for
example, Wired
Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) key to
decrypt the
encrypted text.
5

The AP compares
the decrypted text
with the original
challenge text. If
they match, the
AP authenticates
the station.

The station
connects to the
network

Client Mis-Association occurs when a device connects
AUTOMATICALLY to a rouge AP.
ON THE OTHER HAND
Rouge AP occurs when a user believes that the AP is
secure, and it is safe to connect to it (i.e. Free IAU Wi-Fi)

An attacker performs
malicious association with
the help of soft APs instead
of corporate APs.

The attacker creates a soft


AP, typically on a laptop, by
running a tool that makes the
laptop’s NIC appear an AP

This type of attack succeeds when the
target wireless network uses MAC
filtering to authenticate clients (users).

Users should only be connected to an


SSID that has a specific name and MAC
address
