RE: PCI DSS 11.1 - ".. deploying a wireless IDS/IPS..". Kismet+Snort?

Hi,

It is also possible to meet the PCI 11.1 requirement by scanning the *wired* network looking for wireless access points. This is much easier to do and more practical that walk-around wireless audits using a laptop based tool. There is an open source project called RogueScanner (http://paglo.com/opensource/roguescanner)---which I am one of the authors of---that is specifically designed for wired side discovery of APs.

Regards,

Chris.
