Wireless Vulnerabilities and Enumeration

Public, vendor-neutral wireless vulnerability and exploit taxonomy.

WVE is a free, vendor-neutral effort to build a taxonomy of exploits and vulnerabilities affecting wireless networks, including but not limited to WiFi (IEEE 802.11), Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15), WiMax (IEEE 802.16), ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4), GSM, CDMA and RFID networks. WVE has several advantages for the community:

  • Current information source; With news postings to keep viewers current with wireless attacks and exploits, WVE is a resource for staying current with attacks and security trends affecting wireless technology
  • Wireless IDS correlation; Leveraging the WVE identifiers, vendors can provide a standard resource and identifier for observed attacks with wireless IDS (WIDS) systems. Using a standard nomenclature, consumers can correlate events across multiple vendors while accessing the most current descriptions and references for wireless attacks.
