Wireless Penetration Testing

A wireless penetration test evaluates the security of your Wi-Fi infrastructure from the perspective of an attacker within radio range of your facility. Wireless networks extend your attack surface beyond your physical walls, and misconfigured wireless is one of the most common ways attackers gain internal network access.

What Gets Tested

Wireless encryption strength (WPA2/WPA3), authentication mechanisms, rogue access point detection, guest network segmentation, SSID broadcasting, client isolation, and potential for evil twin attacks. If your wireless network bridges to your internal wired network, that segmentation boundary is a primary focus.

How It Works

This assessment requires proximity to your facility's wireless signals. Testing involves passive monitoring of wireless traffic, identification of all access points and connected clients, and active testing of authentication and encryption controls. Depending on scope, this may include WPA/WPA2 handshake capture, deauthentication testing, and rogue AP deployment to test employee behavior.

What You Receive

A report covering all identified wireless networks, their security configurations, any vulnerabilities discovered, and remediation steps. If segmentation weaknesses are found between wireless and wired networks, the attack path is documented with evidence.

Who Needs This

Any business with wireless networks, particularly those with guest Wi-Fi, BYOD policies, or wireless networks that share infrastructure with the corporate LAN. Retail locations, medical offices, and any facility where visitors or customers connect to Wi-Fi should validate that wireless segmentation is working as intended.

Note: Wireless testing requires physical proximity and cannot be performed fully remote. This engagement involves on-site work at your facility in Louisiana, or coordination with your local IT staff to deploy testing equipment.

How an engagement works

01

Scope

We define what's in bounds, your goals, and any operational constraints. For OT and production systems, safety and uptime come first.

02

Test

Hands-on testing the way a real attacker works. Findings are exploited and verified manually, proof of impact, not just a scanner flag.

03

Report

A prioritized report with clear remediation steps and proof of impact, written to be acted on, not a 200-page scanner dump.

04

Retest

Once your team has remediated, I re-verify the fixes so you can prove the issues are actually closed.

Frequently asked

How long does this take?
Most small-business engagements run one to two weeks from kickoff to final report, depending on scope and the number of targets. You'll get a clear timeline before any testing starts.
Will testing disrupt my operations?
Safety and uptime come first, especially for OT and production systems. We agree on rules of engagement up front, schedule intrusive testing around your operations, and I check in before doing anything risky.
Is the testing automated or manual?
A human drives every engagement and validates each finding by hand. Modern tooling (including AI) helps widen coverage and speed up the tedious parts, but you're paying for verified, exploitable findings, not raw scanner or model output.
Do you offer a retest after we remediate?
Yes. Once your team has fixed the findings, I re-verify the affected issues so you can demonstrate to customers, auditors, or leadership that they're actually closed.
