Wireless Assessments
Wireless Security Assessments are comprehensive evaluations of the security posture of a wireless network. These assessments leverage a variety of techniques to identify vulnerabilities and assess the risk of a network to unauthorized access, data theft, and other security threats.
Here are some test cases our experts evaluate during your wireless penetration test:
- Rogue access point detection: Detecting unauthorized access points that could potentially be used for malicious purposes.
- Weak encryption detection: Checking for weak encryption methods that could be easily broken by attackers.
- Authentication bypass: Testing if it is possible to bypass authentication mechanisms and gain unauthorized access to the network.
- Eavesdropping and sniffing: Evaluating the potential for attackers to intercept and eavesdrop on network traffic.
- Denial of Service (DoS) attacks: Simulating DoS attacks to evaluate the resilience of the wireless network against such attacks. (OPTIONAL)
- Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks: Simulating MitM attacks to evaluate the ability of the wireless network to detect and prevent such attacks.
- Client exploitation: Testing if it is possible to exploit vulnerabilities in client devices to gain unauthorized access to the network.
- WEP/WPA/WPA2 cracking: Checking the strength of encryption keys and attempting to crack them to gain unauthorized access.
- Jamming and Interference: Simulating jamming and interference attacks to evaluate the impact on network availability and integrity.
These are just a few examples of the types of test cases that can be performed as part of a wireless penetration test. The specific test cases will depend on your security requirements and configurations of the wireless network.
Wireless Security Assessments provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of a wireless network, helping organizations to secure their systems and protect against potential security threats.
