Abstract

Systems and methods detect a potential hacking attack by monitoring the number and timing of DELBA (Delete Block Acknowledgement) action frames. When the number and timing of the DELBA action frames correspond to an unauthorized access pattern, an unauthorized access is detected. The potential unauthorized access may be detected by an access point (AP) or by the AP and a backend system. When a potential unauthorized access is detected, the AP may remain in silent mode for a longer period of time and limit access to the network to only trusted devices. In addition, an alarm or other notification of the potential unauthorized access may be provided to a user or other designated contact.
