A method of protecting an active wireless network, the method performed using a network protection system having a wireless risk audit tool and a deceptive network, the method comprising: identifying nodes and connections of the active wireless network; emulating the deceptive network including the identified nodes and connections of the active wireless network and a pseudo-access point (202; 504), wherein the emulated deceptive network further includes a firewall (210; 510) having a discoverable point of weakness; establishing, using the wireless audit tool, radio frequency coverage of a protected area including the active wireless network to detect radio frequency activity in the protected area; establishing authorized security protocols and access behavior patterns for access to the active wireless network; continuously monitoring, using a plurality of hidden and open access points (302, 304, 306; 562, 564, 566) and the wireless risk audit tool, radio frequency activity over a range of radio frequency spectrum within the protected area; identifying from the monitored radio frequency activity, using the wireless risk audit tool, suspicious radio activity from rogue mobile devices (572, 574) used by an attacker based on the established authorized security protocols or the authorized access behavior patterns for access to the active wireless network; re-routing, by the wireless risk audit tool, requests for connection from any identified rouge mobile device (572, 574) to the pseudo-access point (202; 504) of the deceptive network for access into the deceptive network; exposing the discoverable point of weakness of the firewall (210; 510) included in the deceptive network to lure the attacker associated with the suspicious radio activity to gain access to the deceptive network; capturing forensic data of the attacker while the attacker accessing the deceptive network; extracting threat information from the captured forensic data on a modality of attack of the attacker and an identity of the attacker by performing header inspection and deep packet inspection on the captured forensic data; further extracting a signature of the attacker from the captured forensic data; and developing a response for a recovery from the attack and for prevention of future attacks using the extracted threat information and signature of the attacker. identifying nodes and connections of the active wireless network; emulating the deceptive network including the identified nodes and connections of the active wireless network and a pseudo-access point (202; 504), wherein the emulated deceptive network further includes a firewall (210; 510) having a discoverable point of weakness; establishing, using the wireless audit tool, radio frequency coverage of a protected area including the active wireless network to detect radio frequency activity in the protected area; establishing authorized security protocols and access behavior patterns for access to the active wireless network; continuously monitoring, using a plurality of hidden and open access points (302, 304, 306; 562, 564, 566) and the wireless risk audit tool, radio frequency activity over a range of radio frequency spectrum within the protected area; identifying from the monitored radio frequency activity, using the wireless risk audit tool, suspicious radio activity from rogue mobile devices (572, 574) used by an attacker based on the established authorized security protocols or the authorized access behavior patterns for access to the active wireless network; re-routing, by the wireless risk audit tool, requests for connection from any identified rouge mobile device (572, 574) to the pseudo-access point (202; 504) of the deceptive network for access into the deceptive network; exposing the discoverable point of weakness of the firewall (210; 510) included in the deceptive network to lure the attacker associated with the suspicious radio activity to gain access to the deceptive network; capturing forensic data of the attacker while the attacker accessing the deceptive network; extracting threat information from the captured forensic data on a modality of attack of the attacker and an identity of the attacker by performing header inspection and deep packet inspection on the captured forensic data; further extracting a signature of the attacker from the captured forensic data; and developing a response for a recovery from the attack and for prevention of future attacks using the extracted threat information and signature of the attacker.
