Wireless Security Testing
Secure your airwaves.
We assess your wireless networks for rogue access points, weak encryption, and attack vectors that could give adversaries a foothold into your environment.
Overview
Wireless networks extend your attack surface beyond physical walls. Our wireless penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities in your Wi-Fi infrastructure that could allow attackers to gain network access, intercept traffic, or launch further attacks. We test from the perspective of an attacker in your parking lot or lobby—anywhere your wireless signal reaches.
What We Test
Our wireless security testing engagements cover these key areas:
Encryption Strength
WPA2/WPA3 implementation evaluated, with testing for weak passwords and deprecated protocols like WEP or WPA.
Rogue Access Points
Your environment scanned for unauthorized access points that could provide backdoor network access.
Network Segmentation
Wireless network isolation tested to ensure guest networks can't reach internal resources.
Evil Twin Attacks
Susceptibility to fake access point attacks that could capture user credentials or intercept traffic.
802.1X/RADIUS
Enterprise authentication implementations tested for misconfigurations and bypass opportunities.
Captive Portal Security
Guest network portals evaluated for authentication bypasses and access control weaknesses.
Our Approach
Our wireless testing combines passive reconnaissance with active exploitation techniques to identify vulnerabilities in your wireless infrastructure and connected devices.
Wireless Discovery
We identify all wireless networks in range, including hidden SSIDs and rogue access points.
Traffic Analysis
Passive monitoring captures handshakes and identifies vulnerable clients and access points.
Attack Execution
We attempt to crack weak passwords, bypass authentication, and gain network access.
Post-Access Testing
Once on the wireless network, we evaluate what internal resources are accessible.
Common Findings
These are issues we frequently discover during wireless security testing engagements:
Weak Pre-Shared Keys
HighWPA2-PSK networks using passwords that can be cracked through dictionary or brute-force attacks.
Rogue Access Points
HighUnauthorized access points connected to the network, often installed by employees for convenience.
Poor Network Segmentation
HighGuest wireless networks with access to internal resources, servers, or management interfaces.
Legacy Protocol Support
CriticalNetworks still supporting WEP or WPA, which are easily compromised by modern attacks.
PMKID Vulnerability
MediumAccess points vulnerable to offline password cracking without requiring a connected client.
Missing 802.1X
MediumCorporate networks using PSK instead of certificate-based authentication, enabling credential sharing.
Common Questions
Do you need to be on-site for wireless testing?
Yes, wireless testing requires physical presence within range of your access points. We typically work from your premises, though some testing can be done from nearby locations if your signal extends beyond your building.
Will wireless testing affect our users?
Most testing is passive and won't impact users. Active attacks like deauthentication can temporarily disconnect clients, but we coordinate with you on timing and scope to minimize disruption.
Do you test guest networks too?
Absolutely. Guest networks are a common attack vector. We verify they're properly segmented from your internal network and that captive portals can't be bypassed.
Other Penetration Testing Options
External Penetration Testing
We attack your perimeter the way real adversaries would—scanning for exposed services, testing authentication mechanisms, and attempting to breach your internet-facing systems.
Internal Penetration Testing
Simulating a compromised workstation or rogue insider, we test how far an attacker could move laterally through your network and what sensitive data they could access.
Physical Penetration Testing
Combining physical security testing with social engineering, we evaluate whether attackers could gain physical access to sensitive areas and systems.
