        abstract = {Wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi have become an integral part of modern digital infrastructure; however, their widespread adoption has also increased exposure to security vulnerabilities. Many users and organizations continue to operate networks with weak configurations, making them susceptible to unauthorized access and cyber-attacks. The purpose of this project, titled RasFlipper, is to design and develop a low-cost, portable wireless security testing framework that enables the identification and analysis of common Wi-Fi vulnerabilities in a controlled and ethical environment. The project adopts a practical methodology by integrating Kali Linux with an external wireless adapter supporting monitor mode to perform network scanning, packet capture, and vulnerability assessment on authorized networks. RasFlipper emulates the functionality of advanced commercial penetration- testing tools while remaining affordable and customizable for educational use. The system is modular in design, allowing easy expansion and adaptation for future security research.
Through this project, key insights were gained into wireless attack surfaces, security misconfigurations,
and the importance of proactive defence mechanisms. The outcomes highlight how ethical hacking tools can be effectively used for awareness, learning, and strengthening network security. The project concludes that RasFlipper serves as an effective learning platform for students and researchers to understand real-world wireless security challenges and mitigation strategies.},
