I have a new client who was setup with a wireless network a while back using WPA encryption by another firm. An 'unauthorized user' broke the encryption and got onto their network. They've come to me to design a solution so that this doesn't happen again, which isn't a problem. However they also asked me if it's possible to track down the attacker if this happened again.
From what I know, it's not possible is it?
If the attacker didn't change their MAC address, and say the companies lawyers could get some sort of court order to intel, dell, etc to release which MAC address went to which computer and who bought said computer. Does the manufacture even keep that info? If the attacker did change their MAC address, the real MAC address will never transverse the wire(AIR) right, or is it still in the packet somewhere? Any other thoughts or ideas to track someone down? Is any other info leaked that I'm not thinking about?
