Abstract :
Due to the limitation, such as low computation, low calculation and limited energy, wireless sensor networks (WSN) usually have some vulnerabilities, such as data overflow, 0-divides etc. This paper designed a MAC Layer Tester (called MLT) based on fuzz and border conditions algorithm to detect vulnerabilities according to IEEE 802.15.4. MLT can test protocols stack for IEEE 802.15.4, such as ZigBee. MLT builds testing architecture and simulation environment in MAC layer and can test the performance and functions of it if adopted some representative data.
