UniFi / Omada / consumer controller suites
Vendor controllers that inventory clients, SSIDs, and firewall rules.
Authorized testing only. Practice on systems you own, isolated labs, or targets with written permission. Unauthorized access is illegal.
When
You run managed APs/gateways and want centralized client visibility.
How
Review client lists daily after changes; enable IDS if offered; separate SSIDs.
Why
Operator visibility without assembling a full SIEM.
Commands & usage
