A Wireless Network Forensic System

With the prolific deployment of wireless networks, network operation and maintenance is particularly challenging due to the unreliable and often unprotected nature of the wireless medium. Some of the difficulties include interference from other radio frequency sources, physical obstructions, and distance between stations, which all degrade the reliability of data transfer either accidentally or deliberately. An architecture, which detects network anomalies, suspicious network behavior, and identifies abnormal traffic usages is necessary. FLUX, a wireless network forensic analysis system, enables a monitoring infrastructure for forensic data collection, storage and analysis in a wireless environment
