- The conference version of this paper won Best Student Paper at ACM WiSec�14. Frequency jamming is the fiercest attack tool for disrupting wireless communication. Several recent works propose using it instead for the benefit of a wireless network (�friendly jamming�). A prominent application is blocking unauthenticated/malicious communication, e.g. false message injection attacks. This paper designs and evaluates a friendly jamming capability on popular WiFi access points. Our results provide detailed insights into the trade-off between its effectiveness and its cost. The source code for the IEEE 802.11 firmware and data collected from the measurements is publicly available (http://netweb.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/friendlyjammer/).
