WiFi Deauthenticator

Abstract

As the internet attack rate of the world is having trajectory growth at a significant pace; IEEE 802.11 wireless networks have emerged as a critical branch of security. These days wireless networks are literally on every corner from cafes to airport terminals. Over the years, lots of flaws on wireless systems are discovered ranging from caffe latte attacks to KRACK attacks. Together with these, DOS is not an exception. This paper stays around the Wifi DOS attack and practical detection of it. While Wifi DOS attack is an attack on wireless systems which completely disrupts the connection between Access Point and clients (cell phones, laptops ). While some network equipment have built in features to prevent this attack; their performance, effectiveness to defend against this attack is not impressive at all. Consequently, along this whitepaper we will have a fascinating journey to witness how combination of packet crafting skills in scapy and python scripting will assist us to detect this attack.
