Nevertheless, wireless honeypot is still in its infancy, much effort should be invested. For instance, further research should focus on performance, cross-platform issue and multiple standard supports including the latest IEEE 802.11a.
Several modules of WIPS still require further elaboration. For example, it is possible to extend intrusion detection module’s function by incorporating known signatures from other IDS. Also, installing simulation of client interactions or services may improve honeypot’s attraction to the hacker. Presently, the proposed system has been only tested on Linux platform. Further research should consider implement a cross-platform system in the future.
