Intrusion Prevention/Intrusion Detection System (IPS/IDS) for Wifi Networks

The nature of wireless networks itself created new vulnerabilities that in the classical wired networks do not exist. This results in an evolutional requirement to implement new sophisticated security mechanism in form of Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS). This article deals with security issues of small office and home office wireless networks. The goal of this work is to design and evaluate wireless IDPS with use of packet injection method. Decrease of attacker's traffic by 95% was observed when compared to attacker's traffic without deployment of proposed IDPS system.
