Mitigating RADIUS Vulnerabilities: A Security Hardening Guide

This guide provides a comprehensive, actionable reference for IT managers, network architects, and CTOs responsible for enterprise WiFi infrastructure across hospitality, retail, events, and public-sector environments. It covers the full attack surface of RADIUS server deployments - from MD5 collision vulnerabilities and weak shared secrets to unencrypted UDP transport and misconfigured EAP methods - and delivers a prioritised hardening roadmap aligned with IEEE 802.1X, PCI DSS, and GDPR requirements. Organisations that implement these recommendations will materially reduce their exposure to credential-based network attacks, meet compliance obligations, and build a defensible security posture for their guest and corporate WiFi infrastructure.
