WLAN Security Megaprimer Part 30: EAP-MD5 Basics And Demo

In this video, we will go in-depth into EAP-MD5 and use it on a Wireless Network to provide authentication. It is to be noted that EAP-MD5 is hardly used anymore over wireless due to security issues which we will discuss in the next video.

We first begin by understanding the different packets involved in a complete EAP-MD5 authentication both on the wireless (AP to Client) and wired (AP to RADIUS) side. We create an easy to replicate setup using BT5 and run 2 instances of wireshark simultaneously to capture packets on both interfaces.

We finally trace through the packets to understand the EAP-MD5 authentication end-to-end using both a correct username / password pair and an incorrect one.
