Real-time and protocol-aware reactive jamming in wireless networks

PAGE TITLE

Overview

 

PAGE SUMMARY

Executive Statement:

This technology introduces a real-time, protocol-aware, reactive jamming platform utilizing GNU Radio and USRP N210 for advanced wireless network security applications.

Description:

A sophisticated reactive jamming system designed for wireless networks, leveraging the GNU Radio and USRP N210 SDR platform to detect and jam in-flight packets within microseconds. This system is capable of disrupting WiFi and WiMAX networks by selectively jamming packets, demonstrating a significant advancement in addressing wireless security vulnerabilities through hardware-implemented, low-latency response capabilities.
