Please respond to the following: 1-2 paragraphs. Then respond in one paragraph to the additional post.

One of your continuing clients has engaged you to conduct a wireless assessment and penetration test of their infrastructure. Your client has asked you to brief them on the methodology you will use and the tools you would select to complete this engagement.

Briefly, lay out your proposed methodology with a brief explanation of each step and any tools you would use to support a given step.

Once that section is completed, respond in one paragraph to the post below. State if you agree or disagree and the reasoning why. You may also add on to the conversation.

I would start by explaining to the client why a wireless assessment is necessary. Wireless assessment point out the  factors that could be impacting the performance and functionality of your system. Next, I would point out how coverage and capacity design and how access points are distributed throughout your environment. We also  would look into the environment and what is happening around and within it that can affect wireless performance.Also, I would explain the physical installation including the mounting and orientation of the access points and antennas plays a role in performance and will require review. Further investigating I would explain how their cabling infrastructure that supports the access point back haul to the network is critical to performance and also merits an inspection. I would further request an overview of switching infrastructures that handles the traffic from the access points and clients onto the network. Thereafter, I would focus on explaining the WLAN design and configuration that administers the system will be looked at. This includes the channel arrangement, power settings, data rates, number of broadcast SSIDs and other factors that have an impact on the performance of the system. We also consider integrated components as well as network services like DHCP and DNS that are critical to the support of optimally performing Wi-Fi.
