COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY SCANS
WiFiGuard runs 9 different security checks on every network:
- Network Security: Checks if the WiFi uses strong encryption (WPA2/WPA3) or is an open network
- Router Analysis: Identifies the router manufacturer and checks for admin panel security issues
- DNS Security: Detects DNS hijacking, spoofing, and poisoning attempts that could redirect you to fake websites
- Certificate Validation: Verifies HTTPS certificates for major websites to detect man-in-the-middle attacks
- Captive Portal Detection: Identifies login pages and network restrictions
- Transparent Proxy Detection: Finds hidden proxies that may be intercepting your traffic
- Exit Point Analysis: Shows where your internet traffic exits and detects unexpected routing
- Service Discovery: Scans for suspicious services, attack tools, and honeypot devices on the network
- Network Profiling: Identifies router vendor and detects known attack device signatures

When WiFiGuard finds something, it explains the issue in plain language with actionable advice. No confusing technical jargon - just clear information about what the threat means and what you should do about it.
