The PIO wants OSINT to jam a suspected fake “CityHall-Free-WiFi” SSID on the plaza. What is the PORP-appropriate action?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
OSINT writes the field notes; it does not run a radio war on the plaza. Capture the SSID and BSSID, point IT at the observation, and leave the jamming gear in the closet. The research desk also does not write tickets or fines.
Full Explanation
PORP wireless work documents public observations and refers disruption or mitigation to the responsible civic IT or security function. Jamming and drowning a suspected fake SSID are RF interference, which is out of scope and typically unlawful without separate authority, and OSINT has no on-the-spot fining power. A useful product cites the observed SSID/BSSID, location, time, and sources so IT can act. The PIO’s urgency does not convert research into an attack.
