Wi-Fi Penetration Testing
Wi-Fi Penetration Testing
Purpose
Assess wireless network security by testing encryption strength, capturing authentication handshakes, and exploiting vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi implementations. This skill covers reconnaissance, pre-connection attacks, encryption cracking, and post-connection exploitation techniques for comprehensive wireless security auditing.
Prerequisites
Required Hardware
- Wireless adapter supporting monitor mode and packet injection
- Recommended chipsets: Atheros AR9271, Realtek RTL8812AU, Alfa AWUS036ACH
- Computer running Kali Linux or similar penetration testing OS
Required Tools
# Core wireless tools
sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng wireshark reaver
# Additional tools
