Course Outline
Objectives of course
In this course, the student will study security approaches,
vulnerability, attacks as well as prevention mechanisms in wireless
networks. The student will also implement a number of security tools which
will collect information from a wireless network and evaluate its security
level.
Approaches to be used
- Study mechanisms for WEP cryptography, its vulnerability and attacks
- Setup a testbed, implement the attack toward WEP cryptography and
evaluate the security level of this approach
- Study mechanism of WPA-PSK cryptography, its vulnerability and
attack
- Setup another testbed, implement the attack toward WPA-PSK
cryptography and evaluate the security level of this approach
- Develop new evaluation tools for wireless LANs. This tool will be
used to check the security mechanisms implemented in the system, generate
attacks and measure the strength of a key distribution mechanisms, and
finally generate a report for the network administrator that includes the
network security level as well as suggestions as of how to prevent security
attacks.
Accomplishments expected
- Understand features of WEP cryptography, its vulnerability and
attack.
- Be able to launch the attack toward WEP cryptography and evaluate
the security level, such as the possibility to be attack or the complication
of share keys.
- Understand mechanism, vulnerability and attack of WPA-PSK
cryptography in wireless LANs.
- Be able to implement the attack toward WPA-PSK cryptography and
evaluate the security level.
- Create the evaluation tool for wireless LANs
Deliverables of the course
- Interim reports submitted every two weeks
- Final report and software demo during the final week

Another Snow Day
I woke up this morning to the sound of shoveling outside. I remembered that yesterday the snow had almost completely disapeared from previous snowstorms of the season. It all came back today, and then some! The snow hasn't stopped falling. I stayed home from work. Matthew and I slept in.

My Best Friend
This is Elliott. He is one of my soul mates. I could tell when we met that we are going to be friends for a long time...
The hood on Elliott's coat looks a little bit like the one Rick Moranis wore in the movie Spaceballs.

Media Player for Mac
Media Player for Mac does not support most video formats which sucks for me. Elliott sent me this link and I'm going to check it out when I get home.

Je n'existe pas
I'm not really here... it's just a mirage... for some reason I feel like a complete loser. At least I'm complete.
From a phone booth in Vegas, Jessie calls at 5 A.M.
to tell me how she's tired of all of them.
She says, Baby, I been thinking 'bout a trailer by the sea.
We could go to Mexico... you, the cat and me.
We'll drink tequila and look for sea shells.
Now, doesn't that sound sweet?
Oh, Jessie, you always do this every time I get back on my feet.
Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh, Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me.
She asks me how the cat's been. I say, Moses he's just fine
but he used to think about you all the time.
We finally took your pictures down off the wall.
Oh, Jessie, how do you always seem to know just when to call?
She says, Get your stuff together. Bring Moses and drive real fast.
And I listen to her promise, I swear to God this time it's gonna last.
Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.
I'll love you in the sunshine, lay you down in the warm white sand.
And who knows, maybe this time things'll turn out just the way you planned.
Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh, Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me.

I rock!
This is me posing with my guitar. This is the classic Gene Simmon's pose. At least, that's what I've been told.
"God gave rock and roll to you." - Kiss
