WIRELESS RANGE MAPPING
Summary
This component allows the auditor to show the "visibility" of an organization's wireless
network to determine how far the organization's wireless network extends beyond a
controlled area. Wireless networks are often trusted as equivalent to the hardwired office
networks they have largely replaced, but they have important differences. Wireless
networks are often "visible" from outside the walls of the office - from common spaces or
even the street. Without further access, this reveals a wealth of information about the
organization's size and the type of devices connecting to their network.
Overview
This component consists of wireless scanning and wireless signal mapping. It is useful for
organizations with offices in shared spaces/buildings/apartment complexes or near
locations where an adversary could easily "listen" to network traffic. In conjuction with
Monitoring Open Wireless Traffic exercise, it can also identify devices using that network.
It is useful to do this in parallel with Office Mapping to build a more comprehensive view
of the information assets of the organization.
Identify and verify the network(s) belonging to the organization
