Abstract:
The shared nature of wireless network and design of
MAC protocol allowed multiple networks to share the same space and radio
channel. Intruders could easily inject limitless traffic into the radio
network without being attached to wireless access point and could easily
lessen the performance level of WLAN as well as access point. We presented
a very simple methodology to produce the continuous attack (continuous
injection of arbitrary packets into access point) by using Solar winds
tool, WAN Killer and monitor the performance of access point using other
solar winds tool Network performance monitor. We have taken into consideration
different parameters to perform analysis of performance of access point
during continuous attack, but the key parameters were average response
time and packet lose ratio. Based on this analysis, we proposed some security
enhancement features for access point so that the performance level of
access point during continuous attack could be raised.
