DDOS attack on Wireless Network

[IKnowNot]

Well you must have had a long day when you replied to a question about a DOS with rambling about DDOS, then further rambling attempting to justify your position. Concede, you, and others, missed the discrepancy in the question.

My guess, this was someone’s homework: some demoniac teacher probably expected students to spew forth answers such as gore expectorated, or clamor for cites and applications of 802.11w.

Either that, or the original poster was just plain clueless!

Either way an open WLAN is vulnerable to what was purposed.

I do not post here that much anymore because I believe that posts should be meaningful and responsive to the questions posed. SirDice did that in his first post, but it was technically although not practically, incomplete. That, and when the inconsistencies of the question were examined, along with the obvious hijacking of the thread, I felt the need to post.

For someone that wants to learn, I would suggest starting at something like
802.11 Denial of Service Attacks and Mitigation
and
IEEE Standards Publications, Specific requirements Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications Amendment 4: Protected Management Frames

Enough being serious. Back to the booze!
