Wireless networks (WLANs) are found throughout all sectors of industry. Some of these networks do not offer any level of security to insure the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of your data. In this assignment, students will demonstrate how to passively monitor a wireless network using Wireshark and compare secure and unsecured wireless networks. Directions : Part 1: Using Wireshark, conduct a scan on an unsecured and secure network. As you go, take instructional notes and screenshots that will help to reproduce your process. Then complete Part 2 by answering the 3 questions in a 350- to 450-word essay.

1. Using packet analysis tools found in Wireshark, compare to 2 packet captures from Part 1 of this assignment. Perform a packet analysis. What can you find different between the 2 captures?
2. Do the security features found on a typical wireless network ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of private data? What security policy considerations of wireless networks would you consider enforcing?
3. Which methods would you consider to limit exposing and identifying personal wireless identifiers (e.g., WLAN and cellular beacons, System Information Reports, TMSI)?
