| Description |
Denial-of-service attacks have become a widespread problem on the Internet. These attacks are relatively easy to execute. In denial-of-service attacks, the attacker has the ability to prevent information or services access by legitimate users.
Low Rate attacks are relatively new variety of Denial-of-service attacks. Low Rate denial-of-service (DoS) attacks have severe impact on internet infrastructure. Eventually, low Rate denial-of-service attacks are difficult to detect since attacker sends attack stream with low volume and the countermeasures used to handle the high rate denial-of-service attacks are not suitable for these types of attacks.
Our study involves theoretical analysis of 802.11 MAC layer protocols behaviour during low rate denial-of-service flood pattern and impact of this behaviour on other nodes in the wireless network.
We simulate the attack behaviour in NS2 simulation environment to demonstrate the attack feasibility as well as potential negative impact of these attacks on 802.11 based networks.
We created an application which is useful to study these types of attacks on wireless networks.
We also investigate the possible ways of detecting and mitigating such low rate denial-of-service attacks in wireless networks.
