Wireless Network Intrusion Detection and Response System (WIDRS)

WIDRS is a lightweight and affordable wireless intrusion detection and response system built using Kismet and Kali Linux on Raspberry Pi. It monitors wireless traffic in real-time, detects common wireless threats, and provides immediate alerting through the Kismet dashboard.

🔐 Project Functionality

• Detects:
  • Deauthentication Attacks (DoS)
  • Fake Access Point Flooding
  • Evil Twin Attacks (Rogue APs)
• Uses Kismet for packet sniffing and alerting
• Simulates wireless threats using another device with Kali Live OS
• Provides graphical dashboard with categorized alerts

🧰 Hardware Requirements

• Raspberry Pi 4 or 3 (used as monitoring system)
• External Wi-Fi Adapter (preferably Atheros AR9271 chipset)
• microSD card (16GB or 32GB) for Raspberry Pi
• USB Pendrive (8GB or larger) for Kali Live OS
• Computer with BIOS/UEFI (for attacker machine)

💻 Software Requirements

• Kali Linux ARM for Raspberry Pi (Monitoring Device)
• Kali Linux Live ISO for Attacker Device
• Tools:
  • Kismet
  • Airmon-ng (from Aircrack-ng)
  • MDK4
  • Airbase-ng
  • Wireshark or Tcpdump (optional for validation)
