Wireless Penetration Testing

Wireless networks are everywhere — in homes, offices, factories, and public spaces — and because they broadcast through the air, they are exposed to attacks that wired networks never face. This course delivers a complete, hands-on approach to wireless penetration testing, taking you from understanding how Wi-Fi works all the way to discovering, exploiting, and defending real-world wireless vulnerabilities.

Using a dedicated lab built with Kali Linux, a compatible wireless adapter, and industry tools like the Aircrack-ng suite, hcxdumptool, and hashcat, you will learn to capture and crack WPA/WPA2 handshakes, attack the PMKID, defeat WPS, build rogue access points and evil twins, run captive-portal and deauthentication attacks, and assess enterprise WPA2/WPA3 networks. Every attack is paired with its corresponding defensive countermeasure.

By the end of this course, you will be able to perform a complete, professional wireless assessment, crack modern Wi-Fi encryption in your lab, capture credentials from wireless clients, write a structured report of findings and risks, and deliver actionable remediation guidance — leaving you fluent in both offense and defense.

Disclaimer: This course is intended strictly for educational and authorised security testing purposes. All attacks are performed on networks you own or are explicitly authorised to test, within isolated lab environments.
