  3. Background • Network Threats and Wireless Attacks • Tool Architecture Overview • Implemented Attacks and Actions • Conclusion • Reference

  4. Background • Wireless sensor network • Monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants. • Equip with a radio transceiver, a microcontroller, and a battery.

  5. Background • Network Threats and Wireless Attacks • Tool Architecture Overview • Implemented Attacks and Actions • Conclusion • Reference

  6. Network Threats and Wireless Attacks • Inadequate physical protection • Energy and Cost • Through the air • Easy to be intercepted • Wireless Attack • Interception • Alteration • Disruption • Injection

  7. Background • Network Threats and Wireless Attacks • Tool Architecture Overview • Implemented Attacks and Actions • Conclusion • Reference

  8. Tool Architecture Overview • Three Main Conceptual Modules: • Network Sniffer: • Monitoring and logging of radio packets. • Network Attack Tool: • Provides a number of actions for attack. • Network Visualization: • Display topology、Traffic、Nodes State and Status of attack.

  9. Tool Architecture Overview

  10. Network Sniffer (1/3) • The network sniffer relies on packets that are overheard in a sensor's node neighborhood. • It captures them and logs them for later analysis. • Components: • Local Packet Monitoring • Packet Storage • Packet Description Database

  11. Network Sniffer (2/3) • Local Packet Monitoring: • To gather audit data • Packet Storage: • Logging and analysis • Construct graph of neighborhood topology • Packet Description Database • User can specify msg content as C structs which automatically added to DB

  12. Network Sniffer (3/3) Network Attack Tool • Analysis& Graph

  13. Network Attack Tool (1/3) • Provide a number of actions for compromising the sensor network's security profile. • Components: • Data Stream Framework • Attack Launcher

  14. Network Attack Tool (2/3) • Data Stream Framework: • Identified info as its configuration record • Basis msg for Attack Launcher • Attack Launcher: • 6 types of attacks: • Data Replay • Malicious Code Injection • Sinkhole Attack • Selective Forwarding • Flooding • Program Image Dissemination & Ping Operation

  15. Network Attack Tool (3/3) Network Sniffer

  16. Background • Network Threats and Wireless Attacks • Tool Architecture Overview • Implemented Attacks and Actions • Conclusion • Reference

  17. Implemented Attacks and Actions (1/3) • Data Replay • Msgare stored into the Packet Description Database. • Malicious Code Injection • Buffer overflow • Create self-replicating worm and broadcast it. • Selective Forwarding

  18. Implemented Attacks and Actions (2/3) • Sinkhole Attack • Use link quality (LQ) calculations as the routing cost metric to build the routing tree towards the base station. • Broadcast a beacon message. • Advertise a very good LQ in order for all neighboring nodes to choose the tools' attached node as their parent. • Flooding • Send HELLO messages with high transmission power. Send Msg

  19. Implemented Attacks and Actions (2/3) • Program Image Dissemination & Ping Operation • The ping action sends a message to a specific sensor node to request about its state, its currently executing program image and what other images are stored in that node. • Program Image dissemination is a fundamental service in sensor networks that relies upon reliable broadcast of image updates.

  20. Background • Network Threats and Wireless Attacks • Tool Architecture Overview • Implemented Attacks and Actions • Conclusion • Reference

  21. Conclusion • To reveal the vulnerabilities of such networks • To study the effects of severe attacks on the network itself • To motivate a better design of security protocols .
