Field Manual — WiFi Survey Workflow

A scope-first, evidence-driven workflow for surveying wireless terrain in authorized environments.

Manual

Scope

  • Document written authorization and test window
  • Define target area and acceptable techniques
  • Define evidence handling and redaction rules

Survey

  • Inventory SSIDs/BSSIDs/channels
  • Record signal observations and environmental factors
  • Capture evidence artifacts (timestamps, configurations)

Analysis

  • Identify weak configurations and exposure points
  • Correlate with business impact (coverage, rogue AP risk, weak auth)
  • Prepare clean, reproducible notes for the report

Reinforcement

  • Hardening recommendations (auth, segmentation, monitoring)
  • Operational mitigations (rogue detection, logging, alerting)
