TOSS must protect wireless access to the system using authentication of users and/or devices.

Allowing devices and users to connect to the system without first authenticating them allows untrusted access and can lead to a compromise or attack. Wireless technologies include, for example, microwave, packet radio (UHF/VHF), 802.11x, and Bluetooth. Wireless networks use authentication protocols (e.g., EAP/TLS, PEAP), which provide credential protection and mutual authentication. This requirement applies to those operating systems that control wireless devices. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000299-GPOS-00117, SRG-OS-000300-GPOS-00118, SRG-OS-000481-GPOS-00481

Verify there are no wireless interfaces configured on the system with the following command: Note: This requirement is Not Applicable for systems that do not have physical wireless network radios. $ sudo nmcli device status DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION virbr0 bridge connected virbr0 wlp7s0 wifi connected wifiSSID enp6s0 ethernet disconnected -- p2p-dev-wlp7s0 wifi-p2p disconnected -- lo loopback unmanaged -- virbr0-nic tun unmanaged -- If a wireless interface is configured and has not been documented and approved by the Information System Security Officer (ISSO), this is a finding.

Configure the system to disable all wireless network interfaces with the following command: $ sudo nmcli radio all off
