ABSTRACT
In nowadays, many users use wireless networks, which are usually based on the IEEE 802.11 standard (Wi-Fi). Because of broadcast technology used, they are easily susceptible to security attacks. It is very important to study the risks and potential vulnerabilities of Wi-Fi networks to recommend users how to improve their security. This paper presents a research of the security of wireless networks in city of Varna, Bulgaria, and methodology based on war-driving technique. The obtained results are summarized and compared with those from previous research. The recommendations for users are formulated.
