Design and Implementation of Lightweight Wireless Lan Intrusion Detection System

Aiming at wireless network attacks such as DoS attacks, rouge STA, rouge AP, War Driving attacks and brute force attacks, a Lightweight Intrusion Detection System(IDS) for Wireless Lan(WLAN) is implemented by combining the misuse detection and anomaly detection. In this system, the user can define attack rule set, authorization AP/STA list, illegal AP/STA list, the sensitivity and the threshold value of detection can adjust according to the circumstance and user requirement. The test shows that this system has a better detecting effect than other WLAN intrusion detection in market.
