• May 13th 2004: http://www.auscert.org.au/render.html?it=4091 Denial of Service Vulnerability in IEEE 802.11 Wireless Devices “An attacker using a low-powered, portable device such as an electronic PDA and a commonly available wireless networking card may cause significant disruption to all WLAN traffic within range, in a manner that makes identification and localisation of the attacker difficult.” “At this time a comprehensive solution, in the form of software or firmware upgrade, is not available for retrofit to existing devices. Fundamentally, the issue is inherent in the protocol implementation of IEEE 802.11 DSSS.”
