Defending Against Zero Day Attacks in WLANs
June 26th, 2009
Zero Day Attack is exotic name for hacks which will be realized in future and which we don’t know about today. Conventionally, it is believed that a zero day attack will create some anomaly in the network behavior and hence some form of anomaly detector can provide protection from zero day attacks. However, there have always been practical difficulties in implementing robust anomaly detector. Fortunately for 802.11 WLANs, there is also an alternative viable way to defend against zero day attacks.
