WatchGuard

Catalog Presention

WatchGuard provides wireless communication diagnosis function, when WatchGuard detects the wireless communication from access point (AP) or station that inside the coverage area of wireless network, it will forbid the wireless communication, and issue a warning message to the administrator. To prevent the wireless communication, the system can pretend as the station to inform AP to stop the communication. To emit noisy signals to station and/or AP is another method to prevent wireless communication.

During the allow communication duration, the WatchGuard provides invasion detection function, which can be used to detect whether there is any unusual (unexpected) activities inside the coverage area of wireless network which include: the station sending out of large amount of de-authenticate or de-associate packets, unusual packets transmission for site survey process, the station that probes wireless network but does not log in, the station that already de-associates with the wireless network but still sending packets to the particular wireless network, unexpected BSS time stamp overflow electric waves that affect the wireless network.

System Standards: To diagnose wireless communication under 802.11b/802.11g wireless network environment. When any wireless station or wireless AP is detected to communication through wireless network, it issues a warning message to the administrator, and forbids the communication. To prevent the wireless communication, the system can pretend as the station to inform AP to stop the communication. To emit noisy signals to station and/or AP is another method to prevent wireless communication. User can define allow communication and/or prohibit communication duration. Able to detect any unusual wireless probing packets under the wireless network environment and issue an alarm. Able to detect and find unusual packets transmission from SSID under the wireless network environment. Able to detect the station that sends large amount of de-authenticate and de-associate packets to paralyze the coverage area of wireless network. Able to detect unusual packets transmission for site survey process. Able to detect the wireless AP that changes its wireless channel. Able to detect the station that probes the wireless network but does not log in. Able to detect the station that already de-associates with the wireless network but still sending packets to the particular wireless network. Able to detect the 0 length probe response (error) replied from station. Able to detect the unexpected BSS time stamp overflow electric waves that affect the wireless AP of the wireless network. If any invasion is detected, the system will immediately send an email to inform the administrator.
