WiFi IDS
Posted by creining | Filed under Security
I ran into a snort 802.11 patch. The newest rage, wifi IDS? According to the website http://www.snort-wireless.org “The Snort-Wireless project is an attempt to make a scalable (and free!) 802.11 intrusion detection system that is easily integratable into an IDS infrastructure. It is completely backwards compatible with Snort 2.0.x and adds several additional features. Currently it allows for 802.11 specific detection rules through the new “wifi” rule protocol, as well as rogue AP, AdHoc network, and Netstumbler detection. Many more new features are planned for future releases. Bascially, Snort-Wireless intends to eventually be the opensource answer to AirDefense.” Be sure to check out snort on a Linksys WRT54G too.
