Week 7
This week, we learned how to do network forensic on wireless devices.
Common wireless devices:
- AM/FM radios
- Cordless phones
- Cell phones
- Bluetooth headsets
- Infrared devices
- Wireless doorbells
The example of cases that involved the uses of wireless are:
1. Tracking a stolen laptop when it connects to a wireless network
2. Identifying rogue wireless access points that were installed by insiders in order to bypass security
3. Investigate malicious and suspicious activity or activities occurring via a wireless network
4. Investigate attacks on the wireless network (denial-of-service or encryption cracking etc.)
