IEEE 802.11b utilises WEP for data encryption to strengthen wireless security. However, WEP is proven to be insecure and its secret key can be cracked within only a short period of time. This research, in consideration of increasing need in WLAN security enhancements, attempts to devise a solution to prevent adversaries by developing a Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) to detect and prevent War-driving and WEP attacks. An implementation of the WIPS is described in this paper as an illustration of the feasibility of the proposed architecture and results are presented.
