Agenda Background Motivation Accomplishments Challenges Recommendations Proposed Budget Actual Budget Acknowledgements Conclusion References Q/A
3
Background A cheap and easy way to monitor a suspicious network Minimal Footprint The network will be monitored with a microcomputer Increase in Wireless throughout the city
4
Motivation Initial idea for the NSA was formed by Scott Matheson Wanted to create a way to be able to monitor traffic without being hardwired Originally more of a black hat idea Pushed towards white hat by Aaron Collier
5
Accomplishments A working Network Surveillance Apparatus that is capable executing a successful man in the middle attack with the ability to intercept and log packets. An FTP/Snort Server capable of pulling and deleting captures from the NSA, and then filtering out packets based on rulesets. A better understanding of how easy it is to intercept packets wirelessly
6
Challenges The Hummingboard was incompatible with PwnPie and Kali The USB wireless had new chipset drivers released with many issues and with the kernel support for the board was unable to use older versions of the driver Under our suspicion either SAIT’s network policy or a rogue DNS server caused issues with our DNS configuration Simplistic network bridging tools had been depreciated causing us to find alternative means to bridge and NAT the device’s network
7
Technical Recommendations Use a microcomputer that you know is compatible with the OS you wish to use Make sure the chipsets of all tools are compatible and fully supported Know the security policies of the network you are on Verify hardware driver support
8
Team Recommendations Start project ASAP, or you will fall behind very quickly Account for last minute changes and emergencies in your Gantt chart. Document, document, document If you come up with your own project be prepared for a lot of self- guidance. Know that anything the can go wrong will go wrong
