A wireless network security system including a system data store capable of storing network default and configuration data, a wireless transmitter and a system processor. The system processor performs a network security method. An active defense request signal is received, typically from an intrusion detection system. The received request signal includes an indicator of an access point within the wireless computer network that is potentially compromised. In response to the received an active defense of the wireless network is triggered. The triggered active defense may be on or more of transmitting a jamming signal, transmitting a signal to introduce CRC errors, transmitting a signal to increase the difficulty associated with breaking the network encryption (typically by including in the signal packet appearing legitimate but containing randomized payloads, or transmitting a channel change request to the potentially compromised access point.

Method and system for securing wireless local area networks

Active defense against wireless intruders

Method and system for actively defending a wireless LAN against attacks

A network security system includes a system data store capable of storing a variety of data associated with an encrypted computer network and communications transmitted thereon, a communication interface supporting communication over a communication channel and a system processor. Data corresponding to communications transmitted over the encrypted communication network are received. One or more tests are applied to the received data to determine whether a particular communication represents a potential security violation. An alarm may be generated based upon the results of the applied test or tests.
