Attack Patterns CAPEC-619 — Signal Strength Tracking
CAPEC-619

Signal Strength Tracking

TLP:CLEAR

Description

Typical severity: Low. In this attack scenario, the attacker passively monitors the signal strength of the target’s cellular RF signal or WiFi RF signal and uses the strength of the signal (with directional antennas and/or from multiple listening points at once) to identify the source location of the signal. Obtaining the signal of the target can be accomplished through multiple techniques such as through Cellular Broadcast Message Request or through the use of IMSI Tracking or WiFi MAC Address Tracking.
