For this task, you will perform a WLAN site survey. Your task is to produce a map of (part of) a building that gives an overview of the wireless networks that are available, as well as an analysis of the network. What you will need: a WiFi-enabled laptop (some smartphones also work, see below), and a place to scan. You can perform a survey of your home, of an office space, of parts of the Monash campus, or inside a shopping centre. If you don't own a suitable device that you could use for this activity, please try to borrow one from a friend, or contact us to figure out an alternative. Tools: You can use one of the following NetSpot (http://www.netspotapp.co) for Mac OS and Windows Acrylic Wifi (https://www.acrylicwifi.com/en/) for Windows LinSSID or wavemon for Linux Wifi Analyzer for Android (only if you do not have a laptop) This activity has two sub-tasks: a) Survey (20 Marks) Create a map of the place you want to survey. A simple floorplan wll be sufficient, it doesn't have to be perfectly to scale. Your survey should cover an area of at least 90 square meters (e.g. 9x10 meters, or 6x15, or two storeys of 9x5 each). Be creative the survey can include hallways or outside areas. Be sure to take the analysis in part b) into account, by designing your survey to include walls door etc. it will be easier to write something interesting in part b) Furthermore, your survey must include at least three WiFi access points. These can be your own, but can also incude neighbours' APs. If you are scanning in a commercial area or on campus, you should be able to see enough APs. If you want, you can create an additional AP with a phone (using "Personal hotspo" or "Tethering features) For the survey, use a WLAN sniffing tool (see below) at least eight different locations on your map. For each location, record the technical characteristics of all visible APs. In particular, you should record network nae, MAC address, signal strength, signal to noise ratio (SNR), 802.11 version(s) supported, band (2.4 or 5 GHz) and channel(s) used. Some of these parameters may not be available with depending on the concrete tools you use, in that case collect as much data as possible. In your report, include screenshots of the WiFi scanning software. There should be at least one screenshot for cach data recording location Create maps, based on your floorplan, that visualize the information you have gathered. Do not use automatically generated "heatmaps" as produced by professional versions of the apps mentioned above. Simple maps that show the values of the different characteristics in different locations are sufficient. You can submit one or two maps, showing different aspects of your scan. The maps need to include area dimensions, data recording locations, access point names and locations (as far as you can determine them, or an approximation of the location based on the observed signal strength). For HD marks, you will need to indicate on the map, some technical characteristics of access points, materials of walls/doors/windows and some visualization of coverage arca for cach access point. For drawing the site maps, any drawing tool should work, for example LucidChart Google Drawings - Scans of hand-drawn maps are acceptable only if they are neat and casily readable. Use a scanner instead of taking a photo. For this task, you will perform a WLAN site survey.
