EvilAP_Defender is an application that helps wireless network administrators to discover and prevent Evil Access Points (AP) from attacking wireless users. The application can be run in regular intervals to protect your wireless network and detect Evil Twin attacks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By configuring the tool you can get notifications sent to your email whenever an evil access point is discovered. Additionally you can configure the tool to perform DoS on discovered evil AP in order to give the administrator more time to react. However, notice that the DoS will only be performed for evil APs which have the same SSID but different BSSID (AP\u2019s MAC address) or running on a different channel. This to avoid DoS your legitimate network.<\/p>\n
The tool is able to discover evil APs using one of the following characteristics:<\/p>\n
Currently no software based AP gives the ability to change these values. Generally software based APs are so poor in this area). <\/p>\n
Whenever an Evil AP is discovered the tool will alert the admin through email (SMS will be supported soon). Additionally the tool will enter into preventive mode in which the tool will DoS the discovered Evil AP. The tool can be configured easily by starting in what we call \u201cLearning Mode\u201d. In this mode you can whitelist your legitimate network. This can be done by following the wizards during the Learning Mode. You can also configure the preventive mode and admin notification from there as well.<\/p>\n
Finally, you need to change into Normal Mode or re-run the tool in this mode in order to start discovering Evil APs.<\/p>\n
