Video: Wireless Access Point Vulnerabilities

Dan Madey discusses Wireless Security and AirPatrol’s Wireless Locator System

24 October 2009

In this interview for WUSA9 News, Dan Madey, AirPatrol's Senior Director of Product Management and Systems Engineering, uses AirPatrol's Rapid Deployment Sensor and WLS Manager software to demonstrate wardriving and detect nearby cellular calls and wireless traffic.

"You've got anti-virus software and even turned on your computer's firewall. But how do you know if your data is protected? There's an extra step many people don't take, and it makes it easy for hackers to get your information. Dan Madey with Airpatrol is going on a wardrive. He fires up his laptop and connects it to a high-powered sensor to detect nearby wireless access points."

AirPatrol is the most trusted authority on mobile and wireless threats to enterprises and governments. AirPatrol's proprietary WLS WS1002 Cell / WLAN sensor and Rapid Deployment Sensor detect cellphone calls and RF signals from 802.11 wireless devices passively, without interference. Our nulti-band cellular phone detection capability (including SMS text messages and base station pings) provides coverage for NA, EU1 and EU2 bands and iDEN cell devices. AirPatrol's WLS Manager and WLS Connect software talk to AirPatrol cell and wifi sensors to triangulate and locate cellular call events and wireless devices within three meters of accuracy. WLS Manager also provides wireless network perimeter protection (geofencing) via its VirtualShield feature. AirPatrol's Wireless Policy Manager and Wireless EndPoint Client provide network administrators with remote, web-based wireless network policy management and enforcement, USB device control, and wireless endpoint protection from the risks posed by multihoming, rogue access points, and adhoc connections.
