Description

Deactivating wireless network interfaces should prevent normal usage of the wireless capability.

Verify that there are no wireless interfaces configured on the system with the following command:

$ ls -L -d /sys/class/net/*/wireless | xargs dirname | xargs basename -a

Rationale

The use of wireless networking can introduce many different attack vectors into the organization’s network. Common attack vectors such as malicious association and ad hoc networks will allow an attacker to spoof a wireless access point (AP), allowing validated systems to connect to the malicious AP and enabling the attacker to monitor and record network traffic. These malicious APs can also serve to create a man-in-the-middle attack or be used to create a denial of service to valid network resources.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

if [ -n "$(find /sys/class/net/*/ -type d -name wireless)" ]; then
    interfaces=$(find /sys/class/net/*/wireless -type d -name wireless | xargs -0 dirname | xargs basename)

    for i in $interfaces; do
        ip link set dev "$i" down
        drivers=$(basename "$(readlink -f /sys/class/net/"$i"/device/driver)")
        echo "install $drivers /bin/false" >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable_wireless.conf
        modprobe -r "$drivers"
     done
fi

Ansible playbook

The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
