DeauthFlood – The attack detailed in Humphrey Cheung’s article on how to crack WEP uses a deauthentication flood to get hosts to disassociate with a given access point and attempt to reauthenticate, thereby generating more packets to help with a WEP cracking attempt. This can also be used as a Denial of Service (DoS) attack against the access point. DeauthFlood detects this kind of attack by looking for a specific number of deauth frames sent within a certain amount of time and then generating an alert.
This actually happened to me once in the office. Of course who ever was doing this did not succeed in getting into the wirless lan…but it was apain because all employees where getting randomly disonnected all the time for the last 2 hours and there was nothing to my knowledge i could do about it.
Yeah you can get info of who did it, their MAC address…etc…but how do I avoid the attacker from DOS attacking my wireless router?
Can you? Or thats not possible?
