Wifi pentesting

1. Introduction Wireless penetration testing evaluates the security of wireless networks by simulating real-world attacks. Steps Involved: 1. Reconnaissance 2. Scanning & Enumeration 3. Exploitation 4. Post-Exploitation 5. Reporting & Mitigation Example: Identifying unauthorized access points using Aircrack-ng and Kismet.

2. Wireless Network Basics Types of Wireless Networks: - Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) - Bluetooth - Zigbee & IoT Networks Security Mechanisms: - WEP (Weak, outdated) - WPA, WPA2, WPA3 - MAC Address Filtering Example: A company upgrading from WPA2 to WPA3 for better security.

3. Reconnaissance in Wireless Pentesting Objective: Identify SSIDs, MAC addresses, encryption types, and signal strength. Tools Used: - Kismet - Airodump-ng Command: ``` airodump-ng wlan0mon ```

4. Scanning & Enumeration Purpose: Identify active networks and vulnerabilities. Tools: - Airodump-ng - Kismet - Wireshark Command: ``` airodump-ng -c 6 --bssid 00:11:22:33:44:55 -w capture wlan0mon ```

5. Exploitation - Gaining Access Techniques: - Brute-force attacks on WPA/WPA2 - Deauthentication attacks - Evil Twin Attacks Tools: - Aircrack-ng - Reaver (WPS Attack) Command: ``` aircrack-ng -w wordlist.txt -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 capture.cap ```

6. Post-Exploitation Analysis After gaining access: - Monitoring traffic - Capturing sensitive data Tools: - Wireshark - Ettercap

7. Defensive Measures Securing Wireless Networks: - Use WPA3 encryption - Disable WPS - Enable MAC filtering Incident Response Plan: - Detect and mitigate attacks quickly - Educate employees on security best practices.

8. Evil Twin Attack Setting up fake Wi-Fi networks to trick users into connecting and stealing credentials.

9. Deauthentication Attack Disconnecting legitimate users from the network to force reconnections through malicious APs.

10. Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks Intercepting communications between users and network to capture sensitive data.

11. Packet Sniffing with Wireshark Capturing and analyzing network packets for security assessment.

12. Wireless Rogue Access Points Detecting unauthorized access points that could allow attackers to infiltrate the network.

13. WPS Attacks using Reaver Exploiting weak WPS configurations to gain unauthorized access to Wi-Fi networks.

14. Hidden SSID Detection Identifying networks that attempt to hide SSIDs for security through active scanning methods.

15. MAC Address Spoofing Changing a device's MAC address to bypass MAC filtering restrictions in wireless security.

16. Wireless DoS Attacks Disrupting wireless communications using techniques like jamming and deauthentication.

17. Bluetooth Hacking Exploiting vulnerabilities in Bluetooth communication for unauthorized data access.

18. IoT Wireless Security Risks Identifying security risks in IoT devices that communicate over wireless networks.

19. Using Wi-Fi Pineapple for Attacks A tool used to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and network analysis on wireless networks.

20. Capturing Handshakes for WPA Cracking Intercepting WPA handshakes to perform brute-force attacks for cracking Wi-Fi passwords.

21. Social Engineering in Wireless Attacks Manipulating individuals to disclose network credentials or security weaknesses.

22. Wireless Security Policies & Best Practices Implementing policies like network segmentation, user access control, and strong encryption.

23. Wireless Security Monitoring Tools Using tools like Aircrack-ng, Kismet, and Wireshark for real-time monitoring.

24. Legal & Ethical Aspects of Wireless Hacking Understanding legal implications and ethical considerations in wireless penetration testing.

25. Reporting & Documentation in Wireless Pentesting Preparing detailed reports of findings, vulnerabilities, and mitigation strategies.
