Wireless LAN Penetration Testing
Harden your wireless defenses with nGuard’s comprehensive penetration testing, uncovering vulnerabilities from the airwaves to the endpoint.
Proactive Wireless Security Assessments
Testing Types
Wireless Reconnaissance and Perimeter Testing
nGuard assessors conduct detailed reconnaissance of the wireless environment, scanning for open networks, rogue signals, and access points. By analyzing signal leakage beyond your physical perimeter, we ensure that unauthorized users can’t exploit external access to compromise your network.
Authentication and Encryption Compromise
nGuard evaluates your wireless authentication and encryption mechanisms, attempting to bypass them using common techniques like credential cracking, brute force, and exploiting weak encryption protocols such as WEP or misconfigured WPA2/WPA3 networks. Successful attacks demonstrate critical security gaps and provide actionable insight into improving access controls.
Rogue Access Point Detection and Mitigation
We assess your environment for rogue access points that could be set up by internal or external attackers to trick users into connecting to unauthorized networks. By identifying and mitigating these rogue devices, nGuard helps prevent man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, data theft, and unauthorized network access.
Wireless Endpoint Vulnerability Exploitation
Wireless endpoints, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, often represent the weakest link in a wireless network’s security posture. nGuard assessors focus on identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities within these devices, including misconfigured settings, weak credentials, and outdated firmware. By simulating real-world attacks, we attempt to compromise wireless endpoints and use them as unauthorized entry points into the broader network. Our approach includes tactics like deploying fake access points (Evil Twin attacks) to capture sensitive data and exploiting weaknesses in authentication protocols, such as WPA2’s 4-way handshake. Through these methods, we assess how easily attackers could bypass your defenses and pivot to critical network systems.
