The Evil Twin is a type of man-in-the-middle attack where a fake access point is used to eavesdrop on activity. An attacker is then able to capture traffic or plant malware on the system. Evil twins appear to be legitimate access points by cloning the MAC address and the name or service set identifier (SSID) of the network. The evil twin is very similar to phishing and website spoofing in that it uses much the same tactics.
For example, perhaps a new coffee shop opens up that is named The Coffee Cafe. As part of their service, they offer free WiFi to their customers. A hacker, using their laptop and a few relatively inexpensive pieces of equipment, can broadcast that same SSID from a nearby source. But because the signal is stronger than the real network, customers will be tempted to select it over the legitimate access point. You spend the time surfing your social media accounts, checking your bank account, or even logging into a company portal. Meanwhile, the hacker has been capturing all of your login credentials and data. The hacker now has complete control over the WiFi session and is able to siphon data, create a back door, or inject malware onto the system.

Other cyberthieves might try the Evil Twin attack. In this attack, hackers create their own Wi-Fi signal that looks like the one provided by a hotel, coffee shop or restaurant. When you log onto this unauthorized Wi-Fi, the cyberthief can monitor everything you do online.
Some airports have been shown to have more secure networks than others. Even in the most cyber security-aware terminals, it pays to be aware of airport wireless internet threats. Some airlines also offer in-flight wifi. These are often unsecured networks that do not require a password to connect. They are as vulnerable as free coffee shop wifi, but the isolation of the flight sometimes lulls travelers into thinking they are safe from attack. Treat public wifi connections on the ground and in the air with a healthy dose of caution.
Hello humans and welcome to Danhausen's website of the future! Peruse around the gallery, shop Danhausen's wares, watch Danhausen's television YouTube series or whatever may have you. Danhausen suggests buying a Danhausen t-shirt and joining his patreonhausen so he can buy an evil castle with a moat. Okay, goodbye. Have a nice time.
