    WiFi Security Testing

    What is WiFi Penetration Testing?

    WiFi penetration testing is a targeted security assessment of your wireless network infrastructure, designed to uncover misconfigurations, weak encryption, and unauthorized access paths that attackers can exploit from inside or outside your building.

    Targeted and hands-on. Penetration testing for wireless networks including WPA2/WPA3 environments, enterprise RADIUS setups, and guest network segmentation. We test for rogue access points, evil twin attacks, and credential capture to uncover real wireless exposure before attackers do.

    What is the testing scope?

    WPA2 / WPA3 handshake attacks
    PMKID and KRACK vulnerability testing
    Guest network isolation testing
    Evil twin and rogue AP deployment
    Enterprise 802.1X / RADIUS bypass
    Lateral movement from wireless to LAN

    How do we approach WiFi testing?

    Reconnaissance and Signal Mapping

    We start with passive reconnaissance: identifying all active access points, hidden SSIDs, signal ranges, and wireless clients in scope. This baseline reveals your full wireless attack surface, including forgotten or shadow APs that your team may not know exist.

    Active Attack Simulation

    We simulate the techniques real attackers use: evil twin attacks, deauthentication floods, PMKID capture, and 802.1X credential harvesting. Every test is performed under controlled conditions with documented methodology so findings are reproducible and actionable.

    Post-Access Impact Analysis

    Gaining wireless access is only step one. We assess what an attacker can reach from that position: internal network segments, management interfaces, printers, IoT devices, and lateral movement paths. This determines the real business impact of a wireless compromise.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We test all common wireless environments: office WPA2/WPA3 networks, enterprise 802.1X/RADIUS deployments, guest and BYOD networks, industrial and OT wireless setups, and multi-site environments. Testing is performed on-site at your premises using professional RF equipment.

    We work closely with your team to schedule tests during agreed windows. Most passive reconnaissance causes zero disruption. Active attack techniques such as deauthentication or rogue AP deployment are executed in controlled bursts and can be paused immediately if needed. We never leave systems in a compromised state.

    Yes. WPA3 introduced Dragonfly handshake authentication and eliminates many WPA2 weaknesses, but it is not immune to downgrade attacks, implementation flaws, or misconfiguration. We test for WPA3-specific issues including SAE side-channel vulnerabilities and transition mode weaknesses where WPA2 fallback is enabled.

    Absolutely. A WiFi pentest pairs naturally with an internal network assessment. If we gain access via wireless, we continue testing lateral movement and privilege escalation paths on the wired network. Combined engagements give you a complete picture of your internal attack surface at reduced overall cost.
