• Rogue access points: Unauthorized access points set up by attackers to intercept network traffic.
• Evil twin attacks: Fake access points that mimic legitimate ones to steal user credentials.
• Man-in-the-middle attacks: Intercepting and altering communication between devices.
• Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks: Flooding the wireless network with traffic to disrupt service.
