Wireless intrusion prevention systems (WIPS)
Software Development -Other - Software Development
Description
The method is to prevent, detect, and stop malware attacks. The WIPS monitors network communications for events characteristic of attack, detect a malware attack, and performs mitigating actions on how to stop the malware attack.
For this project, I choose only two types of attack which are Rogue Access Point and Evil Twin attack which are usually used by the hackers to steal the password from the system users.

OBJECTIVES
The main objective for this project is to develop a system that can be used to:-
· Search for harmful and/or malicious attack,detect rogue AP and Ad hoc. For example, evil twin attack (that is usually used by a hacker to steal passwords from the user within the network).
· Prevent unauthorized wireless access to local area networks and other information assets by informing or alert the users to block the intrusions. When the system detected those threats, it will then inform the administrator that there is an intrusion. This can be done by sending message to the administrator.
· Study in depth what WIPS is all about including its task and functions that are used in this development.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
