What is Wireless Penetration Test?
A Wireless Penetration test is an approved assessment exercise, which is intended to identify vulnerabilities in security controls utilized by various wireless technologies and standards, misconfigured access points, and weak security protocols. A lot of cooperates setup an an unencrypted “guest” WiFi network and connect it to the internet. While the plurality of these sorts of network are considered to be okay by their extremely nature, but they can present various potential attack vectors:
If separation within wireless network has not been enough in place, then network sniffing and man-in-the-middle attack can easy be inconsequentially actualized.
Older devices can bring more risks by connecting unencrypted WiFi connections and wired network at the same time.
Internal threats can potentially be an attack vector to the endpoints themselves such as the connected devices in the same WiFi.
