Wireless devices can put your network at risk. NetSPI’s wireless network penetration testing identifies security issues and provides actionable recommendations on how to improve your wireless security.

Wireless Network Security Tests

Identify weaknesses, control bypass vulnerabilities, and rogue access points

Wireless network penetration testing with NetSPI looks at all three layers of the environment to catch security issues associated with the configuration, network management, applications, and data that are exposed to authorized and unauthorized wireless devices. Disgruntled employees, contractors, and external attackers can breach sensitive systems through wireless networks. NetSPI pentesters simulate the actions of a skilled adversary to identify wireless network security vulnerabilities that put your organization at risk.

5 Key Attack Scenarios of NetSPI Wireless Pentesting

Wireless networks extend your security perimeter beyond physical walls. NetSPI’s wireless penetration testing evaluates your Wi-Fi environment including enterprise SSIDs, guest networks, IoT/BYOD segments, connected endpoints, and more. These wireless penetration tests are often done from the perspective of an unauthorized attacker to ensure robust security posture and compliance.

Offline PSK Hash Cracking & PMKID Recovery

Attackers passively capture 4-way handshakes or PMKID identifiers from WPA/WPA2 PSK networks without user interaction, taking hashes offline for dictionary attacks to gain unauthorized network access.

  • PMKID Hash & 4-Way Handshake Capture Analysis
  • WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise & Personal (PSK/SAE) Auditing

IoT & BYOD Network Lateral Movement

Weakly secured IoT or guest networks (e.g., ACME-BYOD, ACME-WLAN) allow attackers to breach isolated segments and pivot laterally into sensitive corporate or healthcare/ biomedical zones.

  • IoT, Medical, & BYOD Network Isolation Verification
  • VLAN Hopping & Segmentation Testing

Rogue Access Point & Evil Twin Attacks

By setting up rogue APs matching corporate SSIDs (e.g. ACME-SECURE), attackers trick employee devices into connecting, enabling Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) credential harvesting and traffic manipulation.

  • Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) Credential Harvesting
  • Rogue (AP) Impersonation & Evil Twin Detection

Captive Portal & Access Control

Attackers bypass guest network captive portals to spoof authenticated users, acquiring unmonitored internet and internal resource access.

  • Access Control Bypass ( IP Spoofing, Tunneling)
  • Guest Network Access Control Checks

Unencrypted Traffic & Sniffing

Open or legacy wireless networks expose unencrypted session data to passive sniffing, enabling attackers to harvest sensitive PII, credentials, and business communications from adjacent wireless clients.

  • Wireless Intrusion Detection System Evasion
  • Passive Sniffing Risk Assessment
