conducting-wireless-network-penetration-test
Conducts authorized wireless network penetration tests to assess the security of WiFi infrastructure by testing for weak encryption protocols, captive portal bypasses, evil twin attacks, WPA2/WPA3 handshake capture, rogue access point detection, and client-side attacks. The tester evaluates wireless authentication, network segmentation, and the effectiveness of wireless intrusion detection systems. Activates for requests involving wireless pentest, WiFi security assessment, WPA2/WPA3 testing, or rogue access point detection.

# Conducting Wireless Network Penetration Test
## When to Use
- Assessing the security of enterprise wireless networks including guest, corporate, and IoT WiFi segments
- Testing whether attackers within physical proximity can compromise wireless authentication and access internal networks
- Validating wireless intrusion detection/prevention system (WIDS/WIPS) capabilities against known attack techniques
- Evaluating the effectiveness of WPA3 migration and transition mode configurations
- Testing network segmentation between wireless and wired networks after a wireless network compromise
**Do not use** against wireless networks without written authorization from the network owner, for jamming or denial-of-service attacks against wireless infrastructure unless explicitly authorized, or in environments where wireless disruption could affect life-safety systems.
## Most Often Missed & How to Confirm
- **PMKID (clientless) capture before deauth** — testers wait for a client and a 4-way handshake; many APs leak a crackable PMKID with no client present (`hcxdumptool`). Try it first to avoid disruptive deauths.
