“Wireless technologies have
spread quickly in recent years and are now widely deployed in corporate
environments as well as at home. The human dependency on those
technologies has increased to the point where one can find wireless
devices almost everywhere, from network devices to laptops, cameras,
and so on.
Though these devices support standard security options and protocols
useful to thwart common attacks (ciphering, authentication, etc), many
kinds of attacks are still possible but are dependant on the real level
of security present and the skill of the attacker.
Sometimes, even in companies, blackhat people find open networks with
poor or no security in place. Then they can deeply penetrate such easy
targets to steal information or bounce anonymously elsewhere over the
Internet. These threats come through the external physical barriers
(from a parking lot, walking down the street, through windows) or
inside your own environment (via zealous network seekers with PDAs or
laptops, wireless cards and scanning software).
This paper will introduce honeypots as a countermeasure for wireless
environments (more specifically, WiFi-related technologies). So, let’s
prepare to feed greedy blackhat people with waves of honey to defeat
our happy attackers.”
