Advanced Wi-Fi Penetration Testing

This training is based on the best selling book “Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing” and will provide a highly technical and in-depth treatment of Wi-Fi security. The emphasis will be to provide the participants with a deep understanding of the principles behind various attacks and not just a quick how-to guide on publicly available tools.

During the course of this training participants will do over 25+ hands on lab sessions and will fight it out against live CTF challenges. These include – cracking WPA Enterprise (PEAP, EAP-TTLS), MITM attacks over Wireless, Creating Wi-Fi Backdoors, Scripting and Attack automation, Wireless Forensics and Security Best Practices.

Participants will learn:

• In-depth concept oriented understanding of Wireless LAN (in)security
• Be able to audit wireless networks for security vulnerabilities
• Demonstrate different Wi-Fi attacks as Proof of Concepts
• Propose best practices to create a secure wireless network
