Wireless
Penetration Testing
Wireless technology and usage continues to expand, and securing it has never been more important. When we're conducting a wireless pen test, we're assessing and simulating an attack specifically on your WiFi network. WiFi networks are vulnerable to various attacks ranging from wardriving, rogue access points, MAC spoofing, replay attack, packet analysis, AP misconfiguration, WEP key crack, WPA beacon flooding, key reinstallation, AP theft, evil twin AP, ARP cache poisoning, masquerading and MITM attacks. Our pen testers utilize the latest tools and techniques to perform a full assessment of your entire wireless network and attempt exploitation of dozens of wireless LAN vulnerabilities.
What it looks like
Wireless Setup
We Support
LAN Extension
Extending your local area network with a wireless access point.
Multiple AP
No LAN between endpoints. WLAN is AP to AP and endpoint connects to AP.
LAN-to-LAN
Groups of physically connected LAN connected to another group of LAN via Access Points.
Hotspot
​3G/4G/5G Cellular hotspot broadcasting WiFi & connected to computing endpoints.

Strategy
White-box
​During a white-box pen test, our tester is provided with all the information about the system that is being tested. These are typically network diagrams and credentials. This type of pen testing strategy helps reveal vulnerabilities more quickly and provides better test coverage since we know exactly what we're testing.
Gray-box
During a gray-box pen test, our tester is provided with limited information about the system that is being tested. This is typically user-level credentials. This strategy emulates an attacker located within the network perimeter. The intent is to validate vulnerabilities an attacker may exploit using a compromised user account.
Black-box
During a black-box pen test, our tester has very limited knowledge of the infrastructure. A good amount of effort is spent during recon. The network and attack surface are all manually mapped. This strategy emulates a real hacker and their ability to compromise a target starting with limited knowledge.
Our Methodology
Our Process
Our penetration testing engagement broken down to three main steps.
Prepare
Here we plan and define the extent of our test, what will be tested, where the testing will take place, and who will conduct it.
Perform
Here we perform information gathering, port scanning, enumeration, vulnerability scanning, and attempt exploitation.
Provide
Here we provide a report of our findings, a list of vulnerabilities, categorize the risk as high, medium or low, and recommend repair.
Benefits of
Penetration Testing
Validation
Validate vulnerabilities and possibility of actual exploitation
Compliance
Achieve compliance with regulations and industry standards (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53)
Effectiveness
Ensures effectiveness of security controls and defense systems
Identify
Identify vulnerabilities, prioritize cybersecurity risk and take appropriate action
Reveal Risk
Reveal actual risks. Determine feasibility of attack vectors and business impact of successful attack
Demonstrate
Demonstrate commitment to security and maintain trust with stakeholders
Assurance
Assures the organization that it is operating within the acceptable limit of cybersecurity risks
Prioritize
Prioritize efforts on high-severity vulnerabilities and delegate specific type of vulnerabilities to appropriate department.
FAQs
What is a wireless penetration test?
A wireless penetration test evaluates and assesses your wireless infrastructure for design weaknesses, flaws, and vulnerabilities. It is the process of assessing the security controls implemented to secure your wireless network. During a WLAN pen test, we emulate an attacker using hardware, software, and modern techniques to attempt and exploit the vulnerabilities we discover.
Why do I need a wireless penetration test?
Endpoints such as laptops, workstations, smartphones, tablets, copiers, and IoT devices are no longer tied to a physical cable and can roam freely within the perimeter of a wireless signal. What comes with convenience for organizations also comes with convenience for malicious actors. Wireless networks, like any other technology, come with vulnerabilities. Managing and securing the technology is not always straight-forward. In addition, the technology itself is expanding, and the demand for other technologies that rely on it is increasing. The utilization of wireless networks to transfer confidential information is a normal practice for many organizations, therefore securing it has never been more important. A wireless penetration test will thoroughly evaluate and assess your wireless infrastructure for design weaknesses, flaws, and vulnerabilities.
