# Performing Wireless Network Penetration Test ## Overview Wireless penetration testing evaluates the security of an organization's WiFi infrastructure including encryption strength, authentication mechanisms, rogue access point detection, client isolation, and network segmentation. Testing covers 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax protocols, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA3-SAE, captive portals, and Bluetooth/BLE where in scope. ## When to Use - When conducting security assessments that involve performing wireless network penetration test - When following incident response procedures for related security events - When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities - When validating security controls through hands-on testing ## Prerequisites - Written authorization specifying wireless scope (SSIDs, BSSIDs, physical locations) - Compatible wireless adapter supporting monitor mode and packet injection (e.g., Alfa AWUS036ACH, TP-Link TL-WN722N v1) - Kali Linux with Aircrack-ng suite, Bettercap, Wifite, Kismet - Physical proximity to target wireless networks - GPS receiver for mapping (optional) ## Phase 1 — Wireless Reconnaissance ### Enable Monitor Mode ```bash # Check wireless interfaces iwconfig airmon-ng # Kill interfering processes airmon-ng check kill # Enable monitor mode airmon-ng start wlan0 # Interface becomes wlan0mon # Verify monitor mode iwconfig wlan0mon ``` ### Passive Scanning ```bash # Discover all networks in range airodump-ng wlan0mon -w wireless_...
