Wireless Penetration Testing

Almost all of the organisations nowadays have adopted a wireless setup instead of the traditional wired environment. Since wireless is available to everyone so long as they are in the range to obtain the signal, there is always a security threat to it. At FIRMUS, we offer a service where we will test the security of the organization’s wireless security, ranging from the Access Point up untill the data that is being transferred in the network.

Below are some of the assessments done by FIRMUS in Wireless Penetration Testing:

By performing these assessments, the organization can then further increase their security setup for their wireless connection to ensure they have lowered the risk of attack on that medium.

Almost all organisations today have adopted a wireless setup instead of a traditional wired environment. Because wireless signals are available to anyone within range, this introduces a security risk beyond a building’s physical perimeter. Firmus tests the security of your organisation’s wireless network end-to-end — ranging from the access point, through the LAN controller, up to the data being transferred across the network — to uncover weaknesses before an attacker can exploit them.

War driving is the process of identifying rogue access points or unauthorised SSIDs operating within or near your organisation’s premises. An attacker can use a rogue access point to intercept traffic or gain a foothold into your network without ever needing physical access to your building. Our wireless penetration testing includes a dedicated war driving exercise to detect these unauthorised access points, so they can be identified and removed before they’re exploited.

Weak wireless passwords remain one of the most common ways attackers gain unauthorised network access, so Firmus actively tests your wireless password strength using the same techniques a real attacker would use. Alongside this, we test for man-in-the-middle vulnerabilities — where an attacker intercepts data as it moves between a device and the access point — to confirm whether sensitive data in transit could be exposed or manipulated without your organisation’s knowledge.
