Black-Box Analysis of Wi-Fi Stacks Security
The devices on which we rely in our day-to-day lives use complicated protocols. One of the heavily used protocols is Wi-Fi. The growing complexity also increases the room for error during implementation. This thesis studies the Wi-Fi protocol and the use of fuzz testing to generate semi-valid frames, which could reveal vulnerabilities when sent to the tested device. Special attention was devoted to testing the Wi-Fi stack in the ESP32 and ESP32-2S systems. The output of the thesis is a fuzzer capable of testing any Wi-Fi device, a special ESP32 monitoring tool and a set of ESP32 test programs. The tools did not find any potential vulnerabilities.
