Patent ID: 8229344

Claim:
A method for analyzing a wireless communications device, the method comprising: automatically assessing vulnerability of the wireless communications device, including its susceptibility to jamming, by applying one or more interfering signals to the wireless communications device and observing a response from the wireless communications device, wherein automatically assessing vulnerability includes accessing the wireless communications device by both an antenna interface of the device and a probe interface connected to one or more test points within the device; and automatically identifying one or more vulnerabilities that can be exploited in defeating malicious behavior involving use of the wireless communications device, wherein the malicious behavior involves using the wireless communications device for remote detonation of explosives; wherein applying the one or more interfering signals includes: applying a trigger signal associated with the malicious behavior and a jamming signal to the wireless communications device; and adjusting the jamming signal until the trigger signal is rendered ineffective in acting as a trigger signal; and wherein identifying the one or more vulnerabilities includes: reporting parameters of the jamming signal that result in defeating the malicious behavior.
