Wireless Technique

Goal: identify, capture, and exploit wireless network credentials or gain direct network access via RF attack surface with minimal RF noise and targeted scope.

When this technique applies

• Physical proximity to target wireless infrastructure (within RF range).
• Authorized wireless assessment of 802.11 or Bluetooth/BLE networks.
• Initial access objective requiring network entry via Wi-Fi.
• Authorized analysis of wireless packet captures containing WPA handshakes, PMKID material, or RF evidence.

Boundary with other skills

• Handshake / PMKID cracking: captured material → cracking-technique (hashcat mode 2500/22000/16800).
• Post-network-access: use recon-technique + vuln-search-technique once on network.
• PCAP analysis: traffic captured during or after attack → forensic-technique §3 (PCAP/network forensics) or network-technique §Case B.
• BLE protocol RE: deep protocol analysis → reversing-technique §6 (protocol reversing).
