Wireless Penetration Testing Methodology

Red团队安全’s Wireless Penetration Testing Methodology

It’s uncommon nowadays that an organization does not have some form of wireless network. But merely enabling wireless connectivity within an organization is not the same as deploying a wireless network. The differences in these tasks often lead to improperly configured environments, which can impact employees’ productivity, 网络安全, or data present in the environment.

On its simplest of levels, a wireless penetration test can tell you which Wi-Fi devices exist within your environment and if your environment aligns with industry best practices. With more in-depth testing, an 评估 can also examine the wireless infrastructure, 性能, and security of an organization's Wi-Fi network(s). Doing so helps you gain a full understanding of your company's cybersecurity strengths and weaknesses.

Red团队安全’s wireless 冰球突破豪华版试玩 是包罗万象. Beyond the rudimentary “unauthorized access” testing methodology that other security organizations offer as part of a wireless 评估, Red团队 digs deeper by following the same overall methodology as all of our comprehensive 冰球突破豪华版试玩.

信息收集

The information-gathering phase of a wireless network penetration test consists of network enumeration, identifying the SSIDs (network names) in scope and in-range of your Wi-Fi network. Information gathering efforts result in a compiled list of metadata and raw output from automated tools with the goal of obtaining as much information about the wireless network’s makeup as possible. The purpose of this step is to collectively map the in-scope environment and prepare for threat identification and modeling.

威胁建模

With the information collected during 信息收集, security testing transitions to threat-modeling where assets are identified and categorized into threat categories.

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability analysis step in a wireless penetration test involves the review, documenting and analysis of vulnerabilities discovered as a result of information gathering and threat modeling.  This includes the analysis of output from the various security tools and manual testing techniques leveraged in the previous steps.  Vulnerability Analysis will include making a plan for exploitation and gathering exploits.

剥削

The 剥削 phase of a wireless penetration test involves establishing access to the wireless network, and potentially your internal network, through the bypassing of security controls and exploitation of vulnerabilities in order to determine their real-world risk. In a wireless penetration test, this also involves assessing the following potential areas of risk:

• Rogue Access Point Detection - Red团队安全 will work with your team to validate any alerting mechanisms you have or may need to detect unauthorized Access Points in your environment correctly.  Red团队 will set up a Rogue Access Point that mirrors a valid access point and "trick" devices into connecting to it rather than your managed access point to test both detection and to obtain default usernames and passwords to gain access to your secure WiFi networks, whether a guest network or for employees to connect to your internal network.
• Encryption Key and Password Strength - Red团队 will help your team gauge the strength and complexity of your wireless encryption (whether WEP, WPA2或其他), 键, 和强壮的密码, and their ability to be ‘brute force’ or dictionary cracked.  The configurations of your wireless routers will also be reviewed to ensure the network is secure.
• RF Signal Leakage - Working with your team, we can identify areas of signal bleed over or weak access areas internally within your organization.
• Network segmentation - Like a miniature internal network penetration test, our team will attempt to gain access to your internal network from your guest and authenticated wireless networks, to identify any weaknesses between your wireless environments and physical network firewalls that may need to be addressed.  
• Egress filtering -  By doing a packet-level examination, Red团队 can help your organization identify any specific protocols or ports that establish outward connections from within your wireless environment.
• Captive portal testing - If your organization uses captive portals as a part of your wireless infrastructure, Red团队 will conduct basic testing against your application to ensure its integrity and security.

在这一步, we perform several manual tests simulating real world attacks that are incapable of being performed through automated means. During a Red团队安全 penetration test, this phase consists of heavy manual testing tactics and is often the most time-intensive phase.

报告

The reporting step is intended to provide actionable results to the project stakeholders.  Red团队将编译, document and risk rate findings and generate a clear, 可操作的报告, 完整的证据, for project stakeholders. The report will be delivered through the customer portal and can be reviewed via online meeting, 如果需要.

工具

In order to perform a comprehensive real-world 评估, Red团队安全 utilizes commercially available tools, internally developed tools and some of the same tools that hackers use on each 评估. Our intent is to assess your wireless network by simulating a real-world attack.  

Here at Red团队安全, we understand that your organization's security, 性能, and productivity are too important to rely on simple guesswork. A security services vendor with a proven track record and experience in assessing all the critical needs of an organization's environment, including their business goals, can be an invaluable partner.  Red团队安全 offers a wide variety of 评估s and consulting engagements to ensure your organization meets its goals while maintaining peak productivity.

Many CEOs and Executives have been quoted saying, “We don’t know what we don’t know." This statement will forever reign true within any environment. So why not contact Red团队安全 today and allow us to help you identify your “unknowns''. Call (612) 234-7848 for a free consultation with 冰球突破豪华版试玩 今天专家.
