Wireless Pen Testing


There are mainly two type of networks one is wired and the other is wireless, now a days everything is going to be wireless no one like the wired network, this article is not about the comparison between wired and wireless network. As you have an idea about penetration testing and the tools that are widely used in pen testing, now what about wireless networks. There are some tools present to check the security of the wireless network, in this article we will discuss about a tool.In wireless penetration field you have must seen a few tools and techniques to crack into Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Beside it i think you have seen some script and tools to perform Man in the middle attack (MITM), but surely you have not seen the tool that provide both facilities at the mean time.

Wireless assessment will analyze the current wireless infrastructure to identify weaknesses and points of attack. The penetration testing will also identify rogue wireless access points.

Wireless access points provide a simple way for hackers to penetrate your internal network. Whether sitting in a parking lot or driving around a complex, wireless hackers can find ways to get into your network. For one out of three clients whom we perform Wireless Network Penetration Testing, SecureState discovers wireless access points the client was not aware of. Our assessment will identify vulnerabilities and offer advice for hardening and remediation.

Focus on the following areas to ensure cover all points of attack: Reconnaissance, Security Bypass, Man in the Middle, Data Analysis, Brute Force Attack and Rogue Access points.

Don’t sacrifice your internal network security. Perform Wireless Network Penetration Testing so all points of attack are secured. For increased network security
