It’s a unique form of pen testing that combines both physical and virtual elements to analyze one of the most vulnerable areas of
your overall cybersecurity.
This guide will walk through exactly how you should conduct a wireless pen test, or how a contracted agency (like us) would go
about conducting one. That way, you know how to carry out the procedure yourself, or what to expect when hiring professional help.
Steps to Execute Wireless Pen Testing
A wireless pen test functions just like any other variety of pen test (see below). It differs simply in the focus of its analysis,
which is aimed more at wifi network connectivity than any other vector of attack, such as web applications. Executing any pen test
requires gathering information, launching an attack, then reporting on the findings.
For a wireless test in particular, the process breaks down into the following six steps:
1.Reconnaissance
2.Identifying networks
3.Investigating vulnerabilities
4.Exploiting the wireless networks
5.Reporting on results of exploitation
6.Crafting a plan for strengthening security
