T1422.002 Wi-Fi Discovery

Sub-technique of: T1422

High-Level Description

Adversaries may search for information about Wi-Fi networks, such as network names and passwords, on compromised systems. Adversaries may use Wi-Fi information as part of Discovery or Credential Access activity to support both ongoing and future campaigns.

Kill Chain Phase

• Discovery (TA0032)

Platforms: Android, iOS

What to Check

• Identify if Wi-Fi Discovery technique is applicable to target mobile environment
• Check Android devices for indicators of Wi-Fi Discovery
• Check iOS devices for indicators of Wi-Fi Discovery
• Verify mitigations are bypassed or absent (1 known mitigations)
• Assess detection coverage (1 detection strategies)

How to Test

Identify Attack Surface

Determine if the target mobile environment is susceptible to Wi-Fi Discovery by examining the target platforms (Android, iOS).

Assess Existing Defenses

Review whether mitigations for T1422.002 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable.

Remediation Guide
