Wireless Penetration Testing

Overview

Wireless network provides great convenience to mobile users and increase productivity by allowing them to stay connected with corporate network and access internal resources while they are moving between office floor, sitting in lobby or office cafeteria. As wireless network is not restricted by physical boundaries an external intruder can exploit vulnerable wireless network and gain access to protected corporate network. These intruders are constantly probing wireless access points for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to break into company’s network. This provide easy access point for attackers to get into physically secured organization.

Why should i spend in wireless penetration testing?

It doesn’t matter how hard you protected your physical boundaries if you have weak wireless security. Insecure wireless network provides easy access to your corporate network, allowing attacker to perform sniff attack, access internal resources, cause denial of service etc. With the advent of technologies which convert mobile phones and Mac systems into access point made it difficult for organizations to understand depth of risk involved. Organizations should review their wireless security on¬going basis to ensure best performance & security of wireless network.
