摘要

This study delves into the field of ethical hacking as an essential methodology for the identification and mitigation of Wi-Fi vulnerabilities due to the increasing dependence on wireless networks in institutions. Open source tools are used to carry out an analysis using the Framework for Information Systems Security Assessment (ISSAF) methodology. The goal is to increase the security of digital infrastructure to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of important resources and data in the educational environment. A proactive approach is proposed to remediate and strengthen network defenses, as well as examine potential vulnerabilities. This approach aligns with the ethical principles of hacking, prioritizing the protection of information and the promotion of a safe digital environment for the educational community. The research contributes to the understanding of cyber threats in education and provides practical guidelines to improve wireless network resilience and security.
