Abstract

Most existing wireless IDSs do not provide timely active responses to wireless intrusions as the execution of the responses is done manually by the administrator. Some wireless IDSs address this issue by providing automated responses. On one hand, they reduce the chances of successful wireless attacks by responding immediately to intrusions. On the other hand, they execute responses without considering environmental factors and hence, results in execution of unsuitable responses causing negative effects to legitimate systems. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a wireless IDS with adaptive automated response mechanism named Context Aware Wireless Analyser (CAWAnalyser). CAWAnalyser selects an appropriate response based on a number of contextual factors, and invokes the selected response if the total impact of such response is lower than the total impact of the corresponding attack.
