Deauthentication attack is a type of denialof-service attacks that targets communication between the user and the wireless access point and are considerable threat to WiFi networks resulting in interference and potential security breaches. This research studies various countermeasures protecting against such attacks along with implementation of Wi-Fi Management Frame Protection (MFP) and the transition to Wi-Fi Protected Access 3(WPA3). After thorough research, experiments and analysis, this study evaluates the significance of countermeasures to prevent De-authentication attacks. This paper concludes by providing a complete understanding of De-authentication attacks and ways to secure wireless communications.
