intrusion detection and prevention technology have seen some preliminary applications in the traditional wired network environment. Due to the distinctive characteristics of wireless network
the applications of multi-stage attack plan recognition for WLAN are rarely seen in spite of the promising potential. A distributed wireless multi-step attack pattern mining(DWMAPM)method based on correlation analysis with the IEEE 802.11 protocol frame attributes was proposed. The method consists of five steps:constructing a global attack database
building candidate attack chains
filtering candidate attack chains
correlating multi-step attack behaviors and recognizing multi-step attack patterns. Experimental results show that DWMAPM is effective for recognizing a variety of typical attack patterns in real WLAN attack scenarios
and can provide a basis for forecasting the final attack plans.
