Project Description

The project basically consists of three main components-Attacker, Defender, and Observer.

Our project scenario is the following:A user is using a wireless network service through Access Point, then Attacker will do DoS Attack on the wireless network. Observer is monitoring what is on the airwaves and send log file to Defender. Defender will analyze log files from the observer, categorize attack patterns and report to network administrator for wireless network troubleshooting.

Components to achieve protecting 802.11 DOS attacks

•Monitoring wireless networking Between attacker and defender•Show what happen in the network graphically by using GUI

•Analyze vulnerabilities of 802.11 protocols•Setup various attack daemons to exploit critical security holes of 802.11.

•Analyze log files from the observer•Categorize attack patterns by using XML•Detect attackers•Report “under attack”
