Abstract
The growing dependence on wireless communication has highlighted the critical need for strong network security protocols. This paper presents the design and development of an IoT-Based Wireless Network Security and Monitoring Tool aimed at improving situational awareness in wireless environments. The system utilizes an ESP32 microcontroller, coupled with a TFT display and tactile buttons, to provide real-time monitoring and analysis of Wi-Fi networks operating within the 2.4 GHz frequency band.The device offers essential features such as access point scanning, packet density monitoring, beacon frame analysis, and deauthentication attack detection with corresponding visual and audible notifications. Its lightweight design ensures portability, making it ideal for rapid deployment in field operations. Experimental tests demonstrate that the system efficiently detects abnormal wireless activities, providing a low-cost, effective alternative to traditional, infrastructure-dependent security solutions.The proposed solution is particularly beneficial for cybersecurity researchers, network technicians, and organizations seeking practical methods for identifying and analyzing wireless network threats.
