Abstract
802.11-based wireless networking has significantly altered the networking means and topology for cities, offices, homes and coffee shops over the last five years. A second generation of wireless devices has extended what was once a computer-to-computer protocol into the area of embedded functional devices. Accompanying this widespread usage is the presence of crime; the more popular technology, the more opportunity exists for its misuse. This work studies the 802.11-based wireless networking environment from a forensic computing perspective. It seeks to understand the current state of wireless misuse: present misuses; potential forms of misuse involving 802.11-based wireless networks; and current tools and techniques used in its identification, containment and analysis. The research highlights the lack of current tools and procedures for forensic computing investigations that are able to effectively handle the presence of wireless devices and networks, and that there are forms of misuse that may escape detection by forensic investigation teams. © 2008 IEEE.
