Description

Policy Rule

 

 

Threshold

Notification

 

 

 

 

RF jamming attack

Attack. Multiple RF transmissions (100 or more) are sent to the

100

Trap

 

wireless access point, jamming the radio frequency.

 

 

 

Result. Wireless service is disrupted.

 

 

 

Note: The IDS detects this attack, but the IPS does not take action

 

 

 

against this attack.

 

 

Virtual carrier attack

Attack. Multiple frames (60 or more) with a large duration value

60

Trap

 

are sent to the wireless access point.

 

 

 

Result. Wireless service is disrupted.

 

 

 

Solution. The wireless access point sends a channel change

 

 

 

frame to the legitimate clients and uses automatic channel

 

 

 

selection to switch to a new clear channel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAC spoofing

Attack. Several frames (3 or more) that contain the spoofed

3

Trap

 

MAC address of the wireless access point itself or the spoofed

 

 

 

MAC address of a legitimate client are sent to the wireless

 

 

 

access point.

 

 

 

Result. Wireless security might be compromised.

 

 

 

Note: The IDS detects MAC spoofing, but the IPS does not take

 

 

 

action against MAC spoofing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rogue AP detection

Detection. A wireless access point is not in the managed AP

0

Trap

 

list (see View and Save Access Point Lists on page 87) and is

 

 

 

not connected to the secured wireless or wired network.

 

 

 

Result. Wireless security might be compromised.

 

 

 

Note: The IDS detects rogue APs, but the IPS does not take action

 

 

 

against rogue APs. For information about how to exclude rogue APs

 

 

 

from your network, see Enable Rogue AP Detection and Monitor

 

 

 

Access Points on page 85.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ad-hoc network

Detection. A group of wireless access points are part of an

0

Trap

detected

ad hoc network that might broadcast the same SSID as the

 

 

 

secured wireless network.

 

 

 

Result. Wireless security might be compromised.

 

 

 

Note: The IDS detects ad hoc networks, but the IPS does not take

 

 

 

action against ad hoc networks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ad-hoc network with

Detection. A group of wireless access points are part of an

0

Trap

wired connectivity

ad hoc network that has a wired connection and that might

 

 

 

broadcast the same SSID as the secured wireless network.

 

 

 

Result. Wireless security might be compromised.

 

 

 

Note: The IDS detects ad hoc networks, but the IPS does not take

 

 

 

action against ad hoc networks.
