Analyzing Spoofing Attacks in Wireless Networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks is a grouping of wireless networking and entrenched system technology that monitors the physical or environmental situation, such as temperature, sound, quivering, strain, motion or pollutant, at different locations and a spoofing attack is a one of the most common online attack in which one person or program successfully masquerades as another by falsifying data and thereby gaining an illegitimate advantage, it's become more sophisticated defense mechanisms. Various defense mechanism sagainst spoofing attacks were analyzed and this paper also describes the working mechanisms, advantages & disadvantages of each defense mechanisms.
