SEC617: Wireless Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking

Identify and locate malicious rogue access points using free and low-cost tools along with conducting a penetration test against low-power wireless devices to identify control system and related wireless vulnerabilities
Utilise wireless capture tools to extract audio conversations and network traffic from DECT wireless phones
Implement a WPA2 Enterprise penetration test to exploit vulnerable wireless client systems for credential harvesting
Identify Wi-Fi attacks using network packet captures traces and freely available analysis tools along with identifying vulnerabilities and bypass authentication mechanisms in Bluetooth networks
Learn to decode proprietary radio signals using Software-Defined Radio

Overview

SEC617 will give you the skills you need to understand the security strengths and weaknesses in wireless systems. In this course, you will learn how to evaluate the ever-present cacophony of Wi-Fi networks and identify the Wi-Fi access points and client devices that threaten your organisation; assess, attack and exploit deficiencies in modern Wi-Fi deployments using WPA2 technology, including sophisticated WPA2-Enterprise networks; use your understanding of the many weaknesses in Wi-Fi protocols and apply it to modern wireless systems; and identify and attack Wi-Fi access points and exploit the behavioural differences in how client devices scan for, identify and select access points.
