Design and Implementation of a Wireless IDS

Presented at ShmooCon I (2005), Feb. 5, 2005, 3 p.m. (60 minutes)

Wireless intrusions like rogue access points, injection and mac spoofing attack are a common way to obtain unauthorized access to corporate or hot spot networks. In this presentation, we will focus on the design and implementation "from scratch" of a WiFi IDS aimed at detecting and mitigating some security issues in wireless environments. After a quick state of the art in WiFi IDS domain, we will explain how and why we have developed our own tool, and detail a practical example of usage: rogue APs detection. A demonstration will be done during the talk.
