Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for protecting against unauthorized network intrusions, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising: identifying a signal received by one or more antennas of a network from a transceiver of a device attempting to access the network; detecting one or more signal strengths of the signal received by the antennas of the network in connection with the attempt to access the network; generating, based at least in part on the signal strengths of the signal received by the antennas of the network, a signal profile of the signal received by the antennas of the network, wherein the signal profile of the signal comprises a data structure that delineates information about the signal as an electromagnetic waveform that carries information from the transceiver of the device attempting to access the network; determining that the attempt to access the network is potentially malicious by: in response to determining that the attempt to access the network is potentially malicious, initiating at least one security measure to address the potentially malicious attempt to access the network.
