This paper analyses and proposes a novel detection strategy for the ââ?¬Ë?Chameleonââ?¬â?¢ WiFi AP-AP virus. Previous\nresearch has considered virus construction, likely virus behaviour and propagation methods. The research here\ndescribes development of an objective measure of virus success, the impact of product susceptibility, the\nacceleration of infection and the growth of the physical area covered by the virus. An important conclusion of this\ninvestigation is that the connectivity between devices in the victim population is a more significant influence on\nvirus propagation than any other factor. The work then proposes and experimentally verifies the application of a\ndetection method for the virus. This method utilises layer 2 management frame information which can detect the\nattack while maintaining user privacy and user confidentiality, a key requirement in many security solutions.
