Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Logs

Location

Description

Wireless infrastructure logs recording client association/disassociation events, authentication successes and failures, rogue AP detections, client roaming between access points, and RF anomaly alerts.

Forensic Value

WLC logs provide physical location tracking through access point associations, mapping wireless client devices to specific building areas and floors with timestamps. Rogue AP detection logs identify evil twin attacks or unauthorized access points. Client authentication logs correlate with RADIUS records to identify compromised wireless credentials. Disassociation and deauthentication attack patterns appear as abnormal client disconnect rates. MAC address tracking enables device movement reconstruction across the wireless environment.
