Course Overview:
The Organizational Systems Wireless Auditor® is an international practical
technical wireless security auditing certification designed by experienced IT-
security practitioners for those who want to learn more about the various ways
to professionally perform a wireless security audit or penetration test, with the
aim of identifying weaknesses in wireless deployments. With many
organizations using wireless technologies and many countries announcing
wireless internet access initiatives, attending the Organizational Systems
Wireless Auditor® will give you a solid grounding in how to audit the security of
wireless networks and clients.
The Organizational Systems Wireless Auditor® focuses primarily on providing attendees with the technical knowledge, methodology
and skills to execute a wireless audit/penetration test. The Organizational Systems Wireless Auditor® is designed by wireless-security
professionals from the ground up to teach wireless penetration-testing and security from the starting point of understanding the
fundamentals of Radio Frequency (RF) and RF Spectrum Analysis, through to understanding the IEEE 802.11 specification and how
to analyze information contained in 802.11 packet dumps before arriving at 802.11-based security concerns such as how to penetrate
wireless LANs and going on to advanced methods of auditing wireless networks by targeting wireless clients, as well as how to build
your own wireless hardware to augment your wireless auditing capabilities. In addition, it covers practical security issues affecting
other wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and RFID.
This instructor-led, intensely practical, hands-on programme teaches a vendor-neutral approach to practical security testing of
wireless networks and provides attendees with the correct balance of skill and ethics based on security best practices. By equipping
attendees with the correct technical skillsets, as well as an understanding of legal issues involved in testing a wireless network, the
Organizational Systems Wireless Auditor® will enhance the capability of professional security testers and provide attendees with the
proper methodology, skills and tools to conduct consistent and comprehensive wireless security tests. Attendees will also learn how
to hunt down and geographically locate wireless hackers and moochers on the fly and in real time using the MoocherHunter™ tool,
which has been used by law enforcement to hunt down wireless users and which is only authorized to be taught in the Organizational
Systems Wireless Auditor® certification course.
Attendees will also receive a custom-printed CDROM version of the widely-used OSWA-Assistant™ wireless auditing software toolkit
with on-board software for auditing 802.11-, Bluetooth- and RFID-based networks, to enhance their wireless penetration-testing
activities.
While the programme syllabus should be used to determine if this programme is appropriate for the attendee based on their current
skills and requirements, all attendees will come away with the following:
• A solid understanding about Radio Frequency (RF) fundamentals and its impact on upper-layer protocols..
• The ability to isolate and analyze wireless networks from Layer 1 to Layer 3.
• The knowledge of what preparations have to be made prior to conducting a wireless security audit.
• Comprehensive technical understanding of how to practically execute a wireless security audit.
• Comprehensive technical understanding and ability to isolate and track down unauthorized wireless users.
• How to audit wireless networks using a variety of tools, including "Build-It-Yourself" hardware.
• The ability to recommend countermeasures based on wireless audit results.
• The legal implications of wireless security auditing.
With its wide variety of practical classroom labwork and a practical certification exam, the Organizational Systems Wireless
Auditor® wireless auditing and penetration-testing certification programme is an ideal complement to the Open-Source Wireless
Integration Security Professional™ secure wireless deployment and administration training programme.
