Abstract

We describe possible denial of service attacks to infrastructure wireless 802.11 networks. To carry out such attacks only commodity hardware and software components are required. The results show that serious vulnerabilities exist in different access points and that a single malicious station can easily hinder any legitimate communication within a basic service set.
