Study Notes
Wireless Network Fundamentals
- SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name used to identify a wireless network.
- Heat map depicts Wi-Fi signal strength across a location and is created after site surveys.
Wireless Antennas and Links
- High-gain and parabolic antennas are recommended for creating a wireless link between two buildings 100 meters apart.
WLAN Components and Installation
- A wireless LAN controller (WLC) should be installed in a secure location, such as a network closet.
- SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) access points are commonly used in residential environments.
Access Point Management
- To manage multiple access points effectively in an organization, implement a WLC.
- Use a Wi-Fi analyzer for conducting site surveys.
Types of Site Surveys
- The passive site survey should be conducted first to gather information without actively probing the network.
Wireless Communication Devices
- A wireless access point is responsible for transmitting information and data via radio waves.
- Fat access points contain all necessary features to manage clients and broadcast the network.
Bluetooth Security Vulnerabilities
- Bluejacking involves sending unsolicited messages to a Bluetooth device.
- Bluesnarfing refers to unauthorized viewing of data such as emails and messages on another person's device.
Sources of Interference
- EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is created by motors, heavy machinery, and fluorescent lights.
- Evil twin refers to a rogue access point designed to deceive users by mimicking a legitimate one.
Wireless Security Threats
- WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is highly susceptible to an IV (Initialization Vector) attack.
- Jamming is likely occurring if there are bursts of high-intensity RF signals disrupting the wireless network.
NFC and RFID Attacks
- A relay attack involves intercepting NFC data to impersonate a legitimate device.
- Active RFID tags can transmit signals over long distances.
Rogue Devices and Network Security
- A rogue access point presents a significant security risk when unauthorized devices connect to the network.
- To identify rogue access points, check MAC addresses of connected devices and conduct a thorough site survey.
Secure Wireless Connections
- Configure the connection to a hidden SSID using a pre-shared key and AES encryption for the strongest security.
- Implement WPA2 to add robust security to your wireless network.
Access Point Configuration
- The SSID uniquely identifies a wireless access point and is crucial for successful manual configuration.
- A captive portal can be used to restrict guest internet access, requiring verification via a code provided during check-in at hotels.
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
- EAP-TLS is recognized as the most secure implementation of EAP.
Access Control Mechanisms
- MAC address filtering is a common method used by switches and wireless access points to control access.
- For 802.1x authentication, passwords must be configured on a RADIUS server.
Transitioning to Wireless
- When replacing a wired network with an 802.11g wireless network, utilize RADIUS servers and 802.1x authentication to secure the network.
- Ensure devices in the wireless environment are operating in infrastructure mode.
Access Point Security
- Protect access point configuration utilities by changing the administrative password after installation.
WPA2-Enterprise Configuration
- For a WPA2-Enterprise wireless network, ensure inclusion of both 802.1x authentication and AES encryption in the design.
