Abstract

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) are particularly vulnerable to attacks, since they feature constraint nodes, multi-hop communication, and an open wireless communication channel. These features limit the feasibility of the deployment of contemporary Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): centralized systems fail because there is no strict network boundary, and distributed and/or cooperative systems challenge the limited resources of the nodes. As a result, practical IDSs for WMNs are scarce, and existing systems are limited with respect to detection capabilities. In this paper we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of "DogoIDS": an open source, mobile, active-probing-based intrusion detection system. Exploiting mobility allows to mitigate the limitations of distributed, node-dependent systems. The active nature of the system achieves detection capabilities beyond that of a purely passive system. We show the accuracy and speed of our prototype in a testbed WMN---based on the IEEE 802.11s standard---under realistic attacks.
