Abstract: Wireless networking is a main part of our daily life during these days, each one wants to be connected. Nevertheless, the massive progress in the Wi-Fi trends and technologies leads most people to give no attention to the security issues. Also detecting a fake access point is a hard security issue over the wireless network. All the currently used methods are either in need of hardware installation, changing the protocol or needs analyzing frames. Moreover, these solutions mainly focus on a single digital attack identification. In this paper, we proposed an admin side way of detection of a not real access point. That works on multiple cyber-attacks especially the phishing attack. We shed the light on detecting WI-phishing or Evil Twin, DE authentication attack, KARMA attack, advanced WI-phishing attack and differentiate them from the normal packets. By performing the frame type analysis in real time and analyzing different static and dynamic parameters as any change in the static features will be considered as an evil twin attack. Also, providing that the value of the dynamic parameters surpasses the threshold, it reflects Evil Twin. The detector has been tested experimentally and it reflects average accuracy of 94.40%, 87.08% average precision and an average specificity of 96.39% for the five types of attack.

Keywords: Rogue access point; phishing attacks; KARMA attack; social engineering; hacking
