Title: A DOS Attack Intrusion Detection and Inhibition Technique for Wireless Computer Networks
Authors: Mofreh Salem and Amany Sarhan and Mostafa Abu-Bakr
Abstract: Security is one of the most important issues to be considered in the Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). There are many weakness points of security in WLANs due its nature. Many security techniques were introduced to solve the available security bugs. However, there are still many bugs that were not solved yet such as Denial Of Service (DOS) attacks. In this paper, a new security technique is proposed that aims to detect the DOS attacks in WLANs and further prevent the detected attackers, in the future, from accessing the network. The proposed technique uses an intruders’ database (IDB), which it creates and modifies each time an intruder is detected. This database will be used by the technique to inhibit intruders from bringing the network down by a DOS attack. The simulation results of the proposed technique measure the Probability of Denied Service (PDS) with respect to the number of attacks and the maximum number of connections that access point allows. These results show the effectiveness of this technique in securing the WLAN against the DOS attacks.
