Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) is a pivotal element in wireless network security. WIDS monitors the radio spectrum and system activities to detect intrusive events, and then alerts the complementary prevention part to combat the intrusions. Selecting a reliable WIDS system depends significantly on its performance evaluation. Many different attributes judge the WIDS performance such as effectiveness, efficiency, immunity, interoperability, etc. We introduce in this paper a novel methodology which consists of sequential tasks that cover all necessary dimensions for a credible evaluation of WIDSs performance. We also introduce a new evaluation metric EID(intrusion detection effectiveness) for evaluating the WIDS effectiveness that is considered the basic factor in evaluating the WIDS performance. Our developed metric EID manipulates the drawbacks of the previously proposed metrics. We follow our methodology and conduct experimental evaluation tests of two popular WIDSs (Kismet and AirSnare), to demonstrate the utility of EID.
