Web-style Wireless IDS attacks
By Sergey Gordeichik, Positive Technologies Security Expert
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.
