Web-style Wireless IDS attacks
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
Sergey Gordeychik wrote an article describing Wireless intrusion detection
systems (WIDS) today and possible attack vectors.
DETAILS
Introduction:
Wireless intrusion detection systems (WIDS) are not yet as popular as
their wired counterparts, but current trends would suggest that their
number is set to grow. One positive factor in this respect is the
integration of such programs with active network equipment and Management
awareness of the risks associated with the unauthorised use of wireless
devices. This awareness has led to an increase in the number of WIDS
installations - even where wireless networks are not used.
In view of this situation, specialists in the field of security are now
aware of the need to evaluate not only the quality features of any
product, but also of the need to predict any possible negative influence
arising from its implementation on the security of a corporate network.
This article looks at the results of research into wireless intrusion
detection systems from the point of view of the specialist in the field of
applications security. Design faults discovered are not discussed in the
article as their correction requires significant effort on the part of the
manufacturer.
