1 Wireless Weaponry The Shmoo Group

2 Intro a.k.a. WTF is Shmoo? Howdy! Who’s who up here? What the hell are we gabbing about? “Who’s Shmoo?” takes too long to answer. Enjoy http://www.shmoo.comhttp://www.shmoo.com Let’s get rolling…

3 You vs The Industry Security terminology that's confusing... –WEP, WPA, 802.1x, EAP, TLS, 802.11i, TKIP, RSN Security OFF by default... –Security gets in the way of Plug n' Play, doesn't it? Security implemented poorly... –Newsflash: WEP sucks. Security by obscurity... –Disable SSID broadcast? Puh-LEEZE. MAC filters? Puh- LEEZE. Out of the box, wireless security is not easy, it is not on, it does not work, and it is a sham.

4 You vs Your Users Your users want to use wireless... NOW. –If you don't plug in an access point, they WILL. Your users don't WANT security. –Don't you REMEMBER? “They want to use wireless... NOW.” Your users are 0wn3d. –Worm traffic on a wireless network is a wonder to behold. Your users aren't YOUR users anymore. –They're MINE. Via rogue AP. And they don't even know it. Your users are... well, USERS.

5 You vs The Technology The packets are in the air. –Pop some popcorn, turn on the baby monitor, or answer your phone and say “bye-bye” to your packets. Too many packets cause problems. Duh. –The CERT “down under” just figured this out a couple months ago! One man's packets are another man's noise. –Channels, channels everywhere, but only THREE can blink. Some packets have more authority than others... –802.11 management = When bad-guys “talk”, EVERYbody “listens”. You can not put a leash on your packets. –They look just as good from the parking lot as they do in the office. Darn those pesky packets!

6 You vs The Future EVERY wireless security mechanism to date has had a flaw discovered within a few years of release... or a few months, in some cases. –But don't worry, the next fix is just around the corner. Watch out for security “features” that cause denial-of-service. –Some cures may be worse than the disease. WPA, anyone? 802.11i will not save you from yourself. –Too bad you can't use it on your existing hardware. –Too bad people can't figure out PKI on WIRED networks. –Too bad half of it is sure to be optional. Thanks, vendors! And now for something completely different...
