Wireless Penetration Testing

Who is it for?

WiFi networks are not generally afforded the same level of physical network access controls as they are with traditional Ethernet implementations. Furthermore, it is commonplace to provide ‘guest’ or Bring Your Own Device ‘BYOD’ access to wireless networks, which create an increased risk of rogue devices being introduced.

Whilst this provides opportunities for growth, you may also be opening new avenues for compromise by attackers.

How can we help?

We will often deliver a standalone wireless assessment from a black-box perspective, but we may also combine with an architecture review (thereby utilising a white-box approach), enabling a more thorough analysis.

What we test

• Encryption protocols - The first line of defence for a wireless network. If an attacker can crack the encryption then they can gain access to the network.
• Authentication - As an example the PSK acts as a password to authenticate a user to the network. Passwords that are weak, or not stored securely, offer an easy avenue onto the network for an attacker.
• Segmentation- Weak or absent network segregation can lead to the disclosure of sensitive data, access to (or compromise of) internal systems, and the targeting of internal users.
