dc.description.abstractThis research thesis work studied the security settings of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), their vulnerability, and alternative solution (s), taken ABU wireless LAN as the case study. The research work present results from a comprehensive trace of wireless network security in a large wireless LAN which is the ABU wireless LAN using two software tools as CommView-for-WiFi for packet capture on the network, and Aircrack-ng for decrypting the encryption found in some Access Points (AP) within the network coverage range. This has been carried out using the campus-wide network of more than 100 access points (APs) spread over the buildings of the University. Potential problem(s) and appropriate solution(s) which is the use of WPA2 has also been discussed for the improvement of the wireless network in terms of security settings for effective and secure communication putting access control in to cognizance.en_US
