Penetration Testing

Wireless Network Penetration Testing

Wireless network penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities present within your on-premises wireless networks, with the end goal of obtaining access to a non-public or sensitive network.

What Happens During a Penetration Test of a Wireless Network?

Using a computer within range of your wireless network, a penetration tester will identify in-scope wireless networks and, via methodology specific to wireless networks, attempt to gain access to them. 

A Wireless Network Penetration Test Can Help You:

Identify Vulnerabilities

Wireless networks are subject to vulnerabilities which cannot be easily identified via most audits or network vulnerability scanners – only testing by a pen tester can find them

Improve Security

Wireless networks are commonly overlooked within many organization’s security practices, which ultimately results in a rich attack surface

Validate Segmentation

Organizations with publicly accessible wireless networks can validate that attackers connecting via these networks cannot reach non-public resources

Prepare For Real-World Attacks

Real-world attackers engage in practices such as wardriving to identify wireless networks which are vulnerable to specific wireless exploits

Schellman’s Wireless Network Penetration Testing Methodology

1. Setup: We’ll provide you with a device which you can plug into a power source within the proximity of your wireless network. Alternatively, we can provide you with a laptop for portability, or even have a pen tester on-site to perform a walkthrough.

2. Active Testing: Once we’re able to see nearby wireless networks, we’ll identify in-scope wireless networks and conduct manual testing against them. The form of testing depends on the type of network discovered and can range from evil twin attacks to exploits specific to access point brands.

3. Reporting: If access has been obtained to a non-public network, we’ll assign a severity aligned with overall business impact, provide remediation guidelines, and document repeatable steps to provide proof of exploitability.
