The WLAN devices are used nowadays in many universities, commercial buildings, and organisations which were developed by Wi-Fi alliance to provide interoperability, security and ease of use of wireless devices connected to everywhere, every time to the internet. The WPA2 standard (IEEE 802.11) defines security mechanisms for wireless networks. This paper describes possible attacks launched on Wireless LAN from pre-connection to gaining access to the system and it represents the effect of these attacks on the WLAN along with some mitigations to prevent the devices from the below-defined attacks.
