1. 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 Attack on the wireless network(user). 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.

2. An architecture to detect 802.11 Attackers

3. Components to achieve protecting 802.11 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” Attacker(sonjong) Defender(eunyong) Observer(jaemoo)

4. Features Bare Essentials: Attack program(at least two) networking(Decode captured frames, Filter the captured frames) Attack recognizer GUI Build our own access point on laptop Desired Features: Real-time monitoring Scan all the available channels Monitoring program properly works under all manufactured NIC. Report statistical data(e.g. Graph) Block attacker or hacker GUI Alert under attack Bells and Whistles: Detect more attacking and hacking programs

5.
