Abstract

Wireless networks have advanced quickly over the most recent of years because of the improvements of new wireless standards and cost-effective wireless hardware. This has prompted broad selection of the innovation in home and private companies. Notwithstanding, the vulnerabilities and threats that wireless networks are exposed to resulted in higher risk for unauthorized users to access the computer networks. This paper assesses the security status of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) use by occupants and coffee houses in two noteworthy city communities of Libya. The objective is to assess the security vulnerabilities that lie underneath the use of WLAN by the general population in Libya. Information will be gathered from different populated locales and will be analyzed to better understand the wireless security awareness among the public.
