Ad hoc network is a networking concept, which emerged in the beginning of 1990's.Also known as Peer to Peer (P2P) network, this type of network has facilitated connections among computers.Currently, smartphones are connected to each other wirelessly to share information through hotspot's ad hoc feature.These types of connections have led to many threats and attacks.There have been limited research efforts in threat detection mechanisms for smartphone hotspot connections.This paper proposes a smartphone hotspot Intrusion Detection system (SHIDS) which simulates the detection of the attacks (especially DOS attacks), on smartphone hotspot connections.The proposed architecture is realized into a prototype, which takes into account primary and secondary data collected related to threats and their associated attacks.The novelty of the proposed system is in utilization of historical logs to take decision regarding user access to hotspot connections.In addition the proposed system attempts to reduce the possibility of DoS attack over hotspots connections.
