Session - packet inspector mobile agent to prevent encrypted cookies and HTTP post hijacking in manet

A statistics states that public wi-fi hotspots are set to grow from 1.3 million in 2011 to 5.8 million by 2015. due to increase in public free wi-fi access,users count increases rapidly letting them to expose in vulnerable intrusion attacks. accessing the social network and other confidential sites such as banking in public wi-fi,exposes the credential to the intruder. man-in-the-middle attack plays a major role in accessing the user credential. analysing the packets exposes the http post information in the network. capturing encrypted cookies by the man-in-the-middle can access the secure site and allows the intruder to be an authorized person. mobile agent is a piece of code that migrates and performs actions in the host and is used to prevent intrusion. we propose a model to prevent intrusion in the wireless ad-hoc network using mobile agent. session-packet inspector is proposed to handle http post hijacking and encrypted cookie usage by the intruder. © school of engineering,taylor’s university.
