Wireless penetration testing involves assessing the security of a wireless network by simulating attacks to identify vulnerabilities, such as weak encryption, unauthorized access points, and misconfigurations, that could be exploited by attackers.
Methodology
Scoping
Defines the goals, targets, and boundaries of the penetration test, determining what systems, networks, or applications will be tested and under what conditions.
Reconnaissance
Gather information about the target through passive and active methods, such as public data collection, scanning, and network mapping, to identify potential entry points.
Attack
Exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain access or escalate privileges, simulating real-world attacks to assess the target’s security defenses.
Reporting
Detailed report is created outlining the vulnerabilities found, the methods used to exploit them, the impact, and recommendations for remediation.
