Re: Wireless Audit Reports

Something you might find easier would be to do an inventory of MAC addresses on your network (query all your switches if you have to) and then determine the manufacturer of all devices. If you have any APs in there, if they aren't running off some machine (hostap/madwifi/etc), then you should be able to find them this way.

Hi,

I work in an environment that has a policy that does not permit wireless devices. We still do an "audit" of the area to ensure that there are no wireless devices in our area. I wish to prove that there are no devices. Being in a city, there are literally hundreds of wireless networks present - perhaps up to 50 in any one given area of our building. I have tracked the signals down and have determined that there are no rogue access points or peer networks hidden in our portion of the building.

Now a traditional wireless audit would be easy. I could report the signal strengths of our devices, if the SSID's are correct, are non-broadcast, etc. That would be an easy report to create after data collection. In this case, I am trying to prove a negative. I can list networks, signal strengths, etc. but I feel like I am fluffing the report with meaningless and time wasting statistics. Does anyone have any experience in what they would report under these circumstances?

Matt
