METHOD FOR WIRELESS LAN INTRUSION DETECTION BASED ON PROTOCOL ANOMALY ANALYSIS

摘要

Unauthorized use of a wireless local area network is detected, wherein the network includes mobile units that communicate with at least one server computer through access points. The messages transmitted over the wireless local area network are analyzed for compliance with rules set out in the specification for the selected wireless local area network protocol. If an inconsistency is detected, an alarm is generated to indicate a possible intruder access attempt to the wireless local area network.
