Implementing network defence using deception in a wireless honeypot

The advance of 802.11b wireless networking has been beset by inherent and in-built security problems. Network security tools that are freely available may intercept network transmissions readily and with stealth, making organisations highly vulnerable to attack. Deception is an essential element of effective security that has been used in networks to understand attack methods and intrusions. This paper seeks to explore the use of deception for wireless network defence through the deployment of a wireless honeypot. The honeypot demonstrated the outcome of deceptions used against common wireless network attacks. Keywords wireless honeypot, deception in depth, wireless network security
