2 Electronic/Phy layer Overpowering, modulation techniques Management Frame DoS i.e. RTS/CTS Application Specific Application layer vulnerabilities

3 Quick interference recap: Any type of interference is bad with 802.11g/a due to QPSK Error correction/retransmission has a hard time keeping up under load.

4 Directional Antenna High power output FCC PtoP over 4 watts if directional antenna gain greater than 6dBi Legal attacks within FCC range Determined attackers wont care about FCC restrictions

5 RTS/CTS 802.11 ACK (with large duration value) attack when AP using RTS/CTS, made by modifying the NAV to force a clear medium for an extended period of time.

6 Maximum NAV value is ~32 milliseconds. Attacker need only to transmit 30 times a second for full medium denial. RTS/CTS is not authenticated. Require correct firmware/hardware to disregard standards. (AUX port) Some clients disregard standards

7 New ones coming out all the time, vendor specific. Recent Cisco vulnerability allows a reload of the system when malformed POST is sent to the login page of the web administration. Patching systems and employing other means of security is the only way to be sure.
