Using multiscale traffic analysis to detect WPS attacks

Profiling and mitigating brute force attack in home wireless LAN

“…However, their detection algorithm is based on a few mathematical assumptions. This self-defined attack rules is something bazaar for home users' mitigation action as according to [2] that more complex configurations for common Internet users causing them to deactivate wireless security in order to avoid sophisticated setups. In this study we adapt their data packet capture module and data packet analysis module.…”

“…In [2] discussedReaver software that allows brute force activities and later outlines detection activity to capture, decode and analyze all wireless frames with regards to this attack. However those proposed countermeasures should be adopted by vendors to prevent brute force attacks and this is something beyond end users action domain.…”

“…This module is based on the work done by [5] and [2]. This module is captured using open source packet analysis software Wireshark in promiscuous mode, filtering traffic only from router to management machine (WinXP).…”

“…Earlier stage of WLAN, uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) in their security feature was not sufficient as more and more flaws discovered and nowadays were replaced by Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2 technologies [2] however this techniques still vulnerable to DoS and brute force attacks.…”
