1.0 Introduction

Threats to wireless local area networks (WLANs) are numerous and potentially devastating. Security issues ranging from mis-configured wireless access points (WAPs) to session hijacking to Denial of Service (DoS) can plague a WLAN. Wireless networks are not only susceptible to TCP/IP-based attacks native to wired networks, they are also subject to a wide array of 802.11-specific threats.

To aid in the defense and detection of these potential threats, WLANs should employ a security solution that includes an intrusion detection system (IDS). Even organizations without a WLAN are at risk of wireless threats and should consider an IDS solution. This paper will describe the need for wireless intrusion detection, provide an explanation of wireless intrusion detection systems, and identify the benefits and drawbacks of a wireless intrusion detection solution.

1.1 Background Of Study

Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri Internet Service Provider is chosen as the background of study for the project.

Among the great organization and big institution is Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri, a tertiary institution with several employees working in the different department to achieve the set out objective of educating the human person. By edict No. 16 of 1978, the college of Technology, Owerri was established.

It opened for classes on 15th December, 1978 at a temporary site in the premises of the government trade centre, along Egbu Road Owerri, with an initial in-take of 275 students. In October, 1980, the college moved to its permanent site at Nekede near Owerri, by which time the college had grown to 1,350. The name of the college was later changed to the Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri by Federal Amendment of Decree 1993 of 1st January, 1993.

The Federal polytechnic is at present organized into the schools of:

1. Business Administration and Management Technology which offers courses such as Accountancy, Public Administration, Banking/Finance etc.
2. Engineering Technology which offers courses such as Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, Computer science etc.
3. Environmental design which offers courses like building technology, architectural etc.
4. Industrial sciences which offers courses like science technology, food technology etc.
5. General studies which offers courses like Mathematics, Statistics, humanities etc.

Each of the above mentioned schools is headed by a Dean and all the schools have department also headed by a HOD (head of department). The non-academic divisions and units’ include the registry, bursary, works, medical and health services and the student’s affairs. The units are:
Security, internal audit and public relations which are however, housed under the office of the rectory.

1.2 Objective Of The Study:

The main objective of this work is to design automated software that will aid in the total elimination of intruders from gaining access to the hiding information in our various sysems.
The objective of the study focuses on the following:

1. To aid in monitoring and controlling of fraudulent.
2. To provide quick enquiry about information in an organization.

Furthermore, the study will show the effect in the manpower of the security department because on most occasions charging the manual information system to an automated information system will equally cause redundancy.

1.3 Statement Of Problem

There are difficulties experienced in the manual system or intrusion detection in an organization. These factors therefore necessitate the implementation of a computer – base system in other to overcome the short comings of the manual system of detecting intrusion. By automating the system, rate of intrude flow will be eliminated in an organization, equally the statement of the problem of the work is also be:

1. To understand what intrude is all about and solutions to stop it in entirely.
2. To make an effective security on all the functional inputs of the organization.
3. To bring a seasonal programmer and an operator who will be taking charge of the intrusion detector software being developed.

1.4 Scope Of The Study:

This project work focus mainly on the intrusion detector software for wireless ISPs and also provides well developed software to automate the new system.

---

1.5 Limitation Of Study:

The research of this work is limited Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri, ISPs.

Many limitations were encountered during the process of gathering the information for the development of this project work to this extent.

It was not an easy one, so many constraints was encountered during the collection of data.
The limitation focuses on the following constraints:

Financial constraints:

The cost of sourcing for information and data that are involved in this work is high in the sense that we all know that information is money.

Time:

A lot of time was involved in writing and developing this work.

1.5 Purpose Of The Study

The primary purpose of a WISP is to prevent unauthorized network access to local area networks and other information assets by wireless devices. These systems are typically implemented as an overlay to an existing Wireless LAN infrastructure, although they may be deployed standalone to enforce no-wireless policies within an organization. Some advanced wireless infrastructure has integrated WISP capabilities.

Large organizations with many employees are particularly vulnerable to security breaches[1] caused by rogue access points. If an employee (trusted entity) in a location brings in an easily available wireless router, the entire network can be exposed to anyone within range of the signals.

In July 2009, the PCI Security Standards Council published wireless guidelines[2] for PCI DSS recommending the use of WISP to automate wireless scanning for large organizations.

---

1.6 Significance Of Study:

The Intrusion Detector Software for wireless ISPs would lead to an effective and comprehensive intrusion control in an organization. For examples, computerized verification of illegal access of customers e-mail, computerized verification of signatures. In a matter of seconds the computer system enhanced to do all these tasks, then all criminal and inrusion minded people will desist from such acts.

5.0 Summary Conclusion And Recommendation

5.1 Introduction

This chapter mainly deals with the summary view of the research done on this project as a precipitate of automating intrusion detection software and control.

It equally deals with the recommendation and conclusion drawn from the research conducted.

5.2 Summary

The research of this project was carried out in Federal polytechnic Nekede Owerri, ISPs. Economically, intrude pose serious treat to corporate growth and existence, it leads to distress and failure of most financial and non financial institutions and affects psyche of both the corporation entities and public as well. Intrusion has affected the normal life of many who could not have been judge if not for their observance of the fanatics or fraud and forgeries. Societal values have been debased as a result of easy wealth form intrude. The implication of this is that societal values have been misplaced; hence wealth is accorded prominence and recognition in society without questioning the source of wealth politically.

Fraud and forgeries have weakened the socio political life of the people as concrescence is now being paid for during political campaigns. Intrusion as a big time business has become a means and measure of buying pouter and influence indeed, the growth of organized crimes influence and power in the world’s financial markets is the most serious problem facing both developed and developing countries, hence political and economic financial institutions has been weakened.

According to international chamber of commerce (1986) “This tardiness” (intrusion) allowed the mob (perpetration) to entrench themselves and buy political protections that gives them immunity form prosecution.

The findings in the study were arrived at, through data collection form oral interview secondary data and published data.

5.3 Conclusion

Wireless intrusion detection systems are an important addition to the security of wireless local area networks. While there are drawbacks to implementing a wireless IDS, the benefits will most likely prove to outweigh the downsides. With the capability to detect probes, DoSs, and variety of 802.11 attacks, in addition to assistance with policy enforcement, the benefits of a wireless IDS can be substantial. Of course, just as with a wired network, an IDS is only one part of a greater security solution. WLANs require a number of other security measures to be employed before an adequate level of security can be reached, but the addition of a wireless IDS can greatly improve the security posture of the entire network. With the immense rate of wireless adoption, the ever-increasing number of threats to WLANs, and the growing complexity of attacks, a system to identify and report on threat information can greatly enhance the security of a wireless network.

---

5.4 Recommendation

The proper responsibilities for the prevention and detection of intrusion rest, therefore with management. The management of every organization can do this by instituting adequate system of internal and detection of intrusion should be a collaborative effort of organization, publics, government, customer and some other relevant agencies.

Equally the management should build software like artificial intelligent and robotics that has the ability to detect fraudulent behaviour by analyzing transactions and alerting staff to suspicious activities. As commercial applications of research into artificial intelligence, these systems give the impression of minimizing human abilities for recognizing usual activities.

However much will depend on the willingness of government, the police and the business community to work as one unit to create effective defense in an environment where detection is assured. Lastly, macro economics policies that will take care of the problem of unemployment, inflation and instability in the nation’s economy should also be intensified and itemized to fully eliminate the idea of fraud in the nation.
