this question is a little confusing. It would seem like a better idea to not have the broadcasting turned on or to ensure that you have a ssid enabled. Any further explanation would be apreciated.
well, you wouldnt want a WAP that doesnt provide wireless services so turning the broadcast completely off wouldnt make sense. instead you can turn down the signal strength making it so anyone outside of the work environment wouldnt be able to access the wap. turning off or on the SSID isnt going to stop anyone from being able to access the wireless internet – especially if they already know the SSID then they will still connect. with wireless devices even though the SSID is not being broadcasted wireless signals can still be intercepted and so your WAP is still vulnerable.
im still learning myself so dont take this as the word of god, but I hope I gave a sound explaination.
War driving is a technique that hackers use to find wireless networks. They use detection tools that locate wireless access points within an area, even if the SSID broadcast has been disabled. Once the wireless network has been detected, it is often easy to gain access to the network, even without being physically present in your building or even on your property.
To mitigate threats caused by data emanation:(Signal transmitting outside building)
Do not place access points near outside walls.
Conduct a site survey to identify the coverage area and optimal placement for wireless access points to prevent signals from going beyond identified boundaries. A site survey uses tools to identify the presence and strength of wireless transmissions.
Implement a Faraday cage or Faraday shield to mitigate data emanation. A Faraday cage is an enclosure that prevents radio frequency signals from emanating out of a controlled environment. It is an enclosure formed by conducting material, or a mesh of conducting material that blocks external static electrical fields. Faraday cages can prevent the use of a cell phone.
Encrypt all data transmitted through your access point.
Use firewalls on each network access point.
Thanks i pass my Net+ today on to C.C.I.E I guess i n need C.C.N.A first
Thank’s BG for your Wireless Reply Your are awsome great
