= Lab 06 Wireless Security & Wardriving =

== Introduction ==

The purpose of this lab is show you how to wardrive and to increase your awareness of the WiFi environment. Additional reading material: [[http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsSPs.html|NIST publications SP 800-X on security]]

== Question ==

The following are additional lab questions you should be able to answer.

 1. What is an SSID?
 1. Name the different security (encryption) modes for wireless networks. For each mode, give the encryption algorithm and tell if the security mode is secure.

|| Security Mode || Encryption Algorithm || Secure / Not Secure ||
|| Open || || ||
|| WEP || || ||
|| WPA || || ||
|| ... || || ||
|| ... || || ||
|| ... || || ||

 1. In a default configuration from the factory of most wireless access points, what things would have to be changed to make an access point secure?
 1. What is war-driving?
 1. Where would you find log files on Linux?
 1. Where would you find log files on Windows?

== Lab Goals ==

 1. Install a WiFi SNIFFER on your laptop or phone.
    1. In 2021 we used [[https://www.vistumbler.net/|Vistumbler]] for Windows
    1. In 2021 I had several students us [[http://kismac-ng.org/|KisMAC]] for Mac
    1. Android - no one used it in 2017, but I might suggest G-Mon... there are many others.
 1. Collect data on a predetermined route
 1. Use excel as shown in the lab lecture to gather statistics on the wardrive.

== Show Me ==

Turn an Excel spreadsheets, similar to the table below, containing data from this year. Since your data is collected in terms of instances found, it is ideal for a cross tab. If you don't know how to do one of these pay special attention in the lecture and check out the spreadsheet [[attachment:Wireless War Driving Stats 2015.xlsx|attached]].
