Use of a WLAN Tools in an enterprise setting.

Use of a WLAN Tools in an enterprise setting.This assignment requires you to perform the analysis on a real large-scale wireless network.

To fulfill the assignment tasks, you will collect data on access points and evaluate security

situations. We recommend to use the WLAN sniffing tools (e.g., Netspot, Acrylic, Android app

etc.), however you will have the choice to choose one of the best suitable tools. Data

collection must include technology used, deployed network types, channels, data rates and

interference with other networks, security protocols etc. A technical report is to be prepared

according to the specification below. Your report should include the following:

1. Record WLAN access points at a public place (such as at a shopping centre, public

place, home network etc. of your choice).

2. Gather technical information about wireless networks at three different locations

with minimum 10 APs for each location.

3. Test the WLAN sniffing tool and report your observation and recommend how to

secure and/or manage WLAN. Your report should include:

a. Tables for each location containing all technical details about WLAN setup

from your findings.

b. Screenshots (as an evidence) and detail explanation to report working

mechanism (the step by step process) of the identified technique.

c. Explain the use (evaluation) of the technique to secure and/or manage

WLAN.

i. Discuss dual bands and its advantages

ii. Security implications

iii. Others aspect such as special network, multiple SSIDs and vendors

etc.
