  1. Wireless Tools Training materials for wireless trainers

  2. Goals • The goal of this talk is to provide an introduction to a few software tools that will help you to: • monitor your WiFi network to identify problems • perform security audits and prevent attacks • observe the ongoing performance of your network and plan for future needs • detect interference

  3. Types of wireless tools • Network ESSID scannersWireless protocol analyzersEncryption cracking tools • Wireless device auditing and management • “War driving” tools: network mapping • Spectrum analysis

  4. Built-in wireless clients

  15. http://nmap.org/ • Network and port scanner • Rogue AP detection • Scans any number of ports on any number of hosts • Sophisticated stealth scanning • Idle, undetectable service “scanning” • Available for all platforms

  16. The Dude • http://www.mikrotik.com/thedude.php • The Dude network monitor is a network auditing and monitoring tool by MikroTik. • The Dude automatically scans devices within specified subnets, draws a map of the networks monitors services and sends alerts when there are problems. • Only available for Windows.

  22. Conclusion • Network ESSID scanners will find neighboring WiFi networks and provide basic information about them.Wireless protocol analyzers log captured data for later analysis.Encryption cracking tools can be used to test the security of your own networks. • Wireless device auditing and management tools automate the process of managing access points on your network. • “War driving” tools allow you to plot the physical range of your network on a map. • Spectrum analysis tools can show you sources of radio interference not necessarily caused by WiFi. 23
