Abstract

A method and system of detecting security attacks on a wireless networked computer system includes a remote sensor having a wireless adapter, processor, storage and memory, the remote sensor configured and arranged to emulate a client workstation that is activated and instructed to connect to a wireless computer network having an unknown security status. A secure communications tunnel is established via wired or wireless means between the remote sensor and a server. The server is configured to issue commands to the remote sensor and receive alert information from the remote sensor which detects security events on the wireless computer network. The server determines the threat level the security event poses to a user of the wireless computer network and issues a threat assessment to the user.
