Most users and security managers are not aware of the security threats posed by outdated wireless drivers. Vulnerabilities in wireless drivers are extremely dangerous since client firewalls and other protection mechanisms provide little to no protection on the compromised host.
WiFiDEnum, or WiFi Driver Enumerator, is a Windows tool that assesses wireless driver vulnerabilities on local and remote Windows workstations. It uses a database of discovered wireless-driver vulnerabilities to examine the versions of installed drivers and identifies specific drivers that are at risk to wireless security vulnerabilities.
In a nutshell, WiFiDEnum scans Windows hosts over the network (wired and wireless), extracts registry information to identify wireless drivers that are installed and the associated version information. For each wireless driver, it searches the local database to perform vulnerability assessment.
WiFiDEnum is easy to use. Just fire it up, enter a hostname, IP address or range of IP addresses you wish to scan. Once the scan is finished, you can generated a formatted HTML report that identifies all the vulnerable wireless drivers, along with links for more information about the vulnerability.
WiFiDEnum supports automatic updating of its wireless vulnerability database. As new Microsoft Windows wireless driver vulnerabilities are identified, they are added to the vulnerability database. You can check for new updates directly from the software menu
