Step 6:
By looking at “Authentication” column, user can identify security level.
The meaning of each is as below:
OPEN : No password (High Risk)
WEP : Old Encryption (Easily Hacked)
WPA : Better (Medium Risk)
WPA2 : Secure standard (Safe)
WPA3 : Modern (Very Safe)

User can export report by going from File to Save, then CSV.
ANALYSIS ON CIA
ANALYSIS ON CIA
Vistumbler is a wireless network scanning tool used to detect and analyze nearby Wi-Fi networks. It provides information such as SSID, signal strength, channel, and security type.
💡 Confidentiality
💡 Confidentiality
Protecting Sensitive Information
It helps us make sure that wireless data remains private and is difficult to eavesdrop by rapidly determining whether a network is utilising modern standards (like WPA2) or weak encryption (like WEP).
Controlled Access to Data
To protect confidentiality, Vistumbler’s collected data should be limited to authorized users only to prevent misuse or accidental exposure of network information.
💡Integrity
💡Integrity
Rogue Access Point Detection
Vistumbler used to maintain integrity by detecting Rogue Access Points. If authorized user sees an uknown SSID or a duplicate MAC address on the Vistumbler map, it will categorize it as a network's integrity has been compromised by an unauthorized device.
Verification of Security Standards
It allows authorized user to verify that all the Access Points (APs) and maintaining the correct integrity settings. Vistumbler will alert the users if the network is no longer protected against the data tempering such as it reveals an AP that has reverted to "Open" or "WEP" due to a configuration error
💡Availability
💡Availability
Signal Strength and Interference Mapping
It displays the precise location of the network's accessibility by mapping signal strength. This aids in identifying "dead zones" where users may not be able to access the service.
Identification of Physical Vulnerabilities
Vistumbler works with GPS and Google Earth to show how far a Wi-Fi signal reaches. If the signal extends into public areas, outsiders could launch a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, affecting network availability for internal users.
