hidden node problem
CTS/RTS fixes this somewhat
YES - client nodes dont' talk directly to each other
, if they need to send a packet between them, the AP relays it for them (because this doubles the maximum width of the cell) (
confirmed: through which every communication is routed
)
cloaked SSIDs are supposed to be easy to find... essid_jack?
attacks
There are
LOTS of DoS attacks
Anyone can send dissociation requests, and can do so at a rapid rate, causing a DOS. This can't be prevented, because WAP/IPSec/etc operate at a higher layer. (see tool: wlan_jack)
some proposals for fixing the above
(but the deauth one won't be fixed anytime soon)
DEEP wisdom about attacks and protections
