Vault 7: Projects

This publication series is about specific projects related to the Vault 7 main publication.
2.5.2 Network Profile
A Network Profile directs the survey of wireless devices discovered within a WLAN.
When a new device is discovered in a WLAN, a Device Profile is automatically created
and initialized with survey information (e.g., IP settings, encryption settings, survey
tasks, etc) from a Network Profile. The Network Profile provides a convenient means of
handling the survey of multiple devices in the same network without having to specify
each device in the WLAN. This can be helpful for surveying areas like a hotel where
there may be many different network devices sharing a common SSID.
2.5.3 Device Type Profile
A Device Type profile describes the default characteristics of a device make and model.
This information includes the firmware image (if supported) and other properties (e.g.,
SSID, username, password, and WLAN IP address, etc) of the device. These settings are
used by Sundew during a survey for a matching device type.
2.6 Auto-Survey
Auto-Survey is a special survey task that can be enabled for each Device Profile or
Network Profile. When enabled, Sundew will automatically perform a survey of the
designated device/network when the signal strength reaches or exceeds the level specified
in its profile.
2.7 Mission
A Sundew mission combines the three supported profile types (Device, Network, and
Device Type) for a single operation. These profiles describe the devices and networks to
survey plus the results of any previous surveys. Missions typically cover operations over
the duration of a day or in a small geographic region.
Profiles common to one or more operations and used in multiple missions are stored in
the Mission Repository. This repository allows profiles common to more than one
mission to be shared. The Mission Repository is accessed from the Profile Management
dialog, which is described in a later section.
