A penetration tester is conducting reconnaissance for an upcoming physical security assessment of a corporate campus. A key objective is to identify all wireless networks, including their SSIDs, MAC addresses, and security configurations (e.g., WPA2, WPA3, open). Which of the following OSINT tools is specifically designed for collecting and mapping this type of crowdsourced wireless network data?
WiGLE.net (Wireless Geographic Logging Engine) is a website for collecting information about wireless hotspots worldwide. Users can upload hotspot data, such as SSIDs, MAC addresses, and locations, which is then displayed on a map. It is the ideal tool for reconnaissance of wireless networks in a specific area. Shodan is a search engine for internet-connected devices, but it does not focus on crowdsourced Wi-Fi data. Hunter.io is used for email enumeration, and DNSdumpster is used for DNS enumeration; neither is relevant for wireless network discovery.
