In this article we will look at what is network forensics and what does wireless forensics deals with.
Today’s networks are mainly wireless networks. Most of the Wi-Fi communications are unprotected. Wireless forensics is a part of network forensics, which in turn is a part of computer forensics.
Watch this video to learn about network forensics:
Wireless forensics is the methodology and tools required to collect, analyze the network traffic that can be presented as valid digital evidence in the court of law. The evidence collected can include plain data, or VoIP information (voice calls). Wireless forensics process involves:
- Capturing all data moving over the Wi-Fi network
- Analyzing network events to uncover anomalies
- Discovering source of security attacks
- Investigating breaches on computers and wireless networks
