Validating reliability of OMNeT++ in wireless networks DoS attacks: simulation vs. testbed.

| Summary: | Despite current 802.11i security protocol, wireless net-
works are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
Sending a continuous stream of forgery control frames
by an attacker can easily flood wireless channel so that
the network cannot be available for its associated users.
These attacks are possible because wireless control frames
do not carry any cryptographic mechanism to detect and
discard forgery frames. In this research in parallel to our
experiments, we develop an extension module for wireless
DoS attacks using OMNeT ++ to assess the reliability of
this simulation tool in compare to our real 802.11 wireless
network testbed. To fulfill these goals, throughput, end-
to-end delay, and pocket lost ratio are considered as our
performance measures running on both real testbed and
simulation model. The results are used as a comparative
acceptance of the simulation environment. Hereby we can
confirm accuracy of the simulation results and OMNeT
++ in wireless DoS attack domain |
