COURSE 1200 | 2-DAY SESSION
Hands-On Wireless Network Defense

---

Security configuration guidelines, penetration testing techniques and attack countermeasures to defend your wireless networks

Even if wireless networks are banned in your organization, you need this course! The proliferation of low-cost, consumer-level wireless LAN gear has led to the installation of unauthorized Wireless Access Points in the workplace. These“friendly” rogue Access Points, however well-intentioned, open your network to attack.

• Configure passive and active scanning to detect rogue access points
  
• Detect closed wireless networks using active scanning such as Kismet and Ethereal
  
• Capture wireless traffic using sniffer tools such as Ethereal
  
• Use an RF Spectrum Analyzer to detect interference such as Denial of Service attacks
  
• Circumvent MAC access lists
  
• Set up a virtual access point to do AP spoofing
  
• Deny access with RF jamming
  
• Use the freeware tool AirSnort to defeat Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
  
• Select and position antennas to minimize leakage
  
• Maximize security potential of AP parameter settings
  
• Configure WiFi Protected Access (WPA) features
• Administer 802.1x options, including RADIUS
  
• Set-up and test Intrusion Detection Systems
