How to Build a Faraday Cage on the Cheap for Wireless TCP/IP Fingerprinting

Overview The commonly known security weaknesses associated with the 802.11b wireless standard have introduced a variety of security measures to countermeasure attacks. Using a wireless honeypot, a fake wireless network may be configured through emulation of devices and the TCP/IP fingerprinting of OS network stacks. TCP/IP fingerprinting is one of the most popular methods employed to determine the type of OS running on a target and this information can then be used to determine the type of vulnerabilities to target on the host. Testing the effectiveness of this technique to ensure that a wireless honeypot using honeyed may deceive an attacker has been an ongoing study due to problems conducting TCP/IP fingerprinting in the wireless environment.
