Method for detecting unauthorized devices
Greetings all
Im looking for a way to ensure no devices on a network have wireless capabilities, or lo jack installed, or gps enabled. Is there such a thing as software that does such a thing? Thank you

I don't know about lo jack, but for GPS, aren't the devices simply receiving signals? If so, I don't think you're going to be able to detect those.
Lo Jack for laptops and computers? If that's the case like any network traffic, it can be blocked at Layer 3 by a router or firewall. You just need to know what you're looking for. Once having identified the traffic such as what protocol and port, then you should be able to prevent its propagation. If you're talking about the devices they use in cars, I thought that was GPS based.
I'm not so sure about GPS, but that probably runs inline with what I mentioned for jamming. Check with your state laws to see the legality of that method. Some states allow it, some don't.

I would imagine Netmon would be a quick way to check through out the day as well in your case.
Once MCSE 2k3 completed:
WGU: BS in IT, Design/Management
Finish MCITP:EA, CCNA, PMP by end of 2012
After that, take a much needed vacation!!!!!
