Maybe I’m a little old for it, but I do enjoy the change of pace a big wireless security penetration project provides. Once or twice a year, I get to put down my thrill-a-minute governance frameworks, quit rockin’ out policy advice, and make like the black hats for a week or two. There area few differences between this sort of project and the usual network security assessment. It also prompts a lot of questions from clients, peers and curious IT staff, most likely because it looks like a lot of fun. For the most part, it is.
It goes like this: Instead of heading to Hertz when I hit the ground in a client's city, I hitch a ride over to Penske or a local truck rental outfit and pick up a large plain white van or a mid-size box truck for my team. I'm partial to fiberglass-sided box trucks because they are relatively transparent to radio signals. This means no external antennas or tell-tale wires trailing out of the cab or back door. Then we strike out for Goodwill or the local thrift store. I'm on the frugal side, but I don't fancy sitting cross-legged in the back of a truck for a week. I buy a couple of desks and enough chairs for the consultants that’ll be joining us for the exercise, and set them up in the back of the truck. A few twenties will take care of it. If we're in droll mood and a bit lucky, a couple of disassembled cubicles will fit the bill.
