Abstract
In this project, we demonstrate the vulnerability of WiFi networks by conducting a
variety of attacks. Our goal is to show that even seemingly secure devices, such
as phones, can be compromised. To accomplish this, we used tools such as WiFi
Pineapple, Alpha card, and various software tools and scripts. By cloning a
version of the Arcadia portalguard with WiFi Pineapple and using Virtual Box and
applications such as bettercap and airgeddon, we were able to access student
accounts and monitor network traffic. Our findings highlight the importance of
being cautious when using WiFi networks and the potential dangers of giving out
personal information.
