Wireless Penetration Testing Services
Wireless networks provide your organization with important data and systems. But, did you know the cybercriminals can also use them as an entry point? We, as one of the top cybersecurity consulting firms, provide wireless penetration testing services worldwide. We assess wireless local area networks including the use of ZigBee, Bluetooth, and Z-Wave.
Why Wireless Penetration Testing?
Thousands of companies use wireless networks worldwide to access the internet. Despite all the benefits, it comes with great risks. In recent times, insecure networks are used to break into banks, companies, and government organizations. The frequency of cyberattacks is only growing bigger with time.
Through our wireless penetration test, we assess our client’s wireless networks. The main purpose of such security testing services is to access WPA2 private or corporate networks. Our experts are responsible for reviewing guest-hosting networks to see if they can identify any files or servers as guests that pose certain threats.
What Are The Stages Of Wireless Penetration Testing?
-
Planning and Preparation
Our team conducts this procedure to obtain the necessary approvals from the management and determine the scope of penetration testing.
-
Gathering Information & Analyzing
This phase involves identifying the information needed to conduct direct and indirect investigations.
-
Detecting Vulnerability
This is the stage in which our tester will interact with the target to identify vulnerabilities.
-
Exploiting Vulnerability
This step is used to understand whether any of the identified vulnerabilities can be exploited.
-
Reporting
It contains creating a detailed report on vulnerabilities, identified risks, a summary of the penetration test, and information collected during the wireless penetration test.
FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
The purpose of wireless penetration testing is to assess the security of wireless networks and devices. This testing aims to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access, intercept data, or launch cyberattacks. By simulating real-world hacking attempts, wireless penetration testing helps organizations understand their network’s strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to implement appropriate security measures and mitigate risks. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance the overall security of wireless networks, protect sensitive information, and maintain a robust defense against potential threats in the wireless environment.
One commonly used tool for wireless penetration testing is Aircrack-ng. It’s a versatile suite of tools designed for assessing the security of Wi-Fi networks. Aircrack-ng enables testers to capture wireless packets, analyze encrypted data, and crack WEP and WPA/WPA2 encryption. It includes tools for packet capture, brute-force attacks, and dictionary attacks on wireless network passwords. Aircrack-ng aids testers in identifying vulnerabilities in wireless networks, such as weak passwords or encryption flaws, helping organizations enhance their Wi-Fi security.
Wireless penetration testing offers several benefits for organizations. Firstly, it identifies vulnerabilities in wireless networks, preventing potential unauthorized access and data breaches. Secondly, it helps ensure compliance with security standards and regulations by evaluating the network’s adherence to industry best practices. Additionally, the testing provides insights into weak points in Wi-Fi configurations and encryption, enabling prompt remediation. By conducting penetration testing, organizations enhance their overall network security posture, build user trust, and minimize the risk of cyberattacks exploiting wireless vulnerabilities.
Penetration testing has certain limitations. It offers a snapshot of security vulnerabilities at a specific time, potentially missing new threats that emerge later. The process can disrupt normal operations and cause false alarms if not executed carefully. While it identifies existing weaknesses, it might not address broader security concerns like social engineering. Penetration testing requires skilled experts, and their biases or assumptions might affect the assessment’s accuracy. Furthermore, it doesn’t guarantee complete security; instead, it’s a part of a comprehensive security strategy. To overcome these limitations, organizations should complement penetration testing with continuous monitoring, cybersecurity awareness training, and a proactive approach to addressing evolving threats.

Testimonial
“The application layer attack surface continues to grow in size and complexity, with nearly 30 percent of breaches analyzed in the most recent Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) involving an application layer attack. And since finding and retaining staff who possess the IT cybersecurity skills required to deal with these realities seems to be a universal problem for companies of all sizes.”
