This curriculum spans the technical and operational rigor of a multi-phase wireless security engagement, comparable to an internal red team’s workflow for assessing RF environments, executing controlled attack simulations, and integrating findings into enterprise monitoring and compliance frameworks.

Module 1: RF Signal Propagation and Environmental Assessment

  • Selecting appropriate frequency bands (2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz vs. 6 GHz) based on physical site constraints and interference profiles.
  • Conducting site surveys using spectrum analyzers to identify non-Wi-Fi interference from Bluetooth, microwave ovens, or cordless phones.
    • Determining optimal access point placement to minimize multipath fading and shadowing in dense office environments.
  • Calculating free-space path loss for long-range outdoor links and adjusting transmit power accordingly.
  • Accounting for building materials (e.g., concrete, glass, metal) in predictive modeling tools to estimate signal attenuation.
  • Validating coverage maps with active probing tools to detect dead zones before vulnerability scanning operations.

Module 2: Wireless Network Architecture and Device Integration

  • Designing VLAN segmentation strategies to isolate management, user, and guest wireless traffic during scanning activities.
  • Integrating wireless intrusion detection systems (WIDS) with existing SIEM platforms for centralized alerting.
  • Configuring controller-based vs. cloud-managed APs to support distributed scanning across multiple locations.
  • Implementing 802.1X authentication with RADIUS servers to secure administrative access to wireless infrastructure.
  • Enabling AP channel bonding only where signal-to-noise ratios support stable high-throughput scanning.
  • Managing rogue AP detection thresholds to reduce false positives in high-density RF environments.

Module 3: Wireless Security Protocols and Encryption Analysis

  • Identifying legacy WEP or weak WPA-PSK implementations during reconnaissance and prioritizing them for remediation.
  • Testing for PMKID capture vulnerabilities on WPA2/WPA3 networks using packet capture tools like hcxdumptool.
  • Assessing enterprise WPA2-Enterprise configurations for proper EAP method selection (e.g., EAP-TLS vs. PEAP-MSCHAPv2).
  • Detecting misconfigured RADIUS servers that accept null or default credentials during authentication attempts.
  • Evaluating opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE) implementations for compatibility and security gaps in open networks.
  • Verifying correct implementation of SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) to resist offline dictionary attacks in WPA3.

Module 4: Vulnerability Scanning Tools and Wireless Targeting

  • Selecting scanning tools (e.g., Aircrack-ng, Kismet, Wireshark) based on target network encryption and monitoring requirements.
  • Configuring monitor mode on wireless adapters with chipset-specific drivers to ensure packet injection capability.
  • Filtering scan targets by BSSID and SSID to avoid unintended disruption of production or adjacent networks.
  • Scheduling passive scanning windows to avoid interference with time-sensitive wireless applications (e.g., VoIP).
  • Generating MAC address randomization reports to assess client device exposure during active scans.
  • Validating scan tool firmware compatibility with modern Wi-Fi 6/6E standards to prevent capture failures.
  • Obtaining written authorization for wireless scanning that explicitly includes MAC address collection and packet capture.
  • Mapping scanning activities to compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI DSS 11.1, NIST 800-115) for audit documentation.
  • Restricting transmission power levels to comply with local RF emission regulations (e.g., FCC Part 15, ETSI EN 300).
  • Documenting spectrum usage logs to demonstrate non-interference with licensed services (e.g., radar, medical devices).
  • Implementing data retention policies for captured wireless traffic to meet GDPR or CCPA requirements.
  • Coordinating with legal teams to define permissible attack vectors during authorized penetration testing engagements.

Module 6: Wireless Threat Emulation and Attack Simulation

  • Executing deauthentication attacks to test client reconnection behaviors and authentication resilience.
  • Deploying evil twin access points with matching SSIDs to evaluate client auto-connect policies.
  • Simulating KRACK (Key Reinstallation Attack) scenarios to validate patch status on client operating systems.
  • Testing for DNS hijacking susceptibility on open captive portal networks during guest scanning.
  • Generating CTS (Clear to Send) flood attacks to assess AP resilience under denial-of-service conditions.
  • Validating certificate pinning on enterprise applications during man-in-the-middle (MITM) simulation over wireless.

Module 7: Post-Scan Analysis and Reporting

  • Correlating discovered wireless vulnerabilities with asset inventory systems to prioritize remediation.
  • Generating heatmaps that overlay RF coverage with security exposure levels across physical locations.
  • Classifying findings based on exploit complexity, access level achieved, and data exposure potential.
  • Producing packet capture summaries that highlight sensitive data transmitted in cleartext.
  • Documenting false negatives due to channel hopping limitations or driver instability during scans.
  • Delivering technical mitigation playbooks with CLI and GUI configuration steps for network teams.

Module 8: Operational Resilience and Continuous Monitoring

  • Establishing baseline RF noise levels to detect anomalous transmissions indicative of rogue devices.
  • Configuring automated alerts for unauthorized SSID broadcasts or unexpected channel utilization spikes.
