Wireless Penetration Testing Providers
Wireless penetration testing assesses the security of an organisation's wireless networks, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other radio-frequency communications. Testers evaluate wireless network configurations, encryption protocols, authentication mechanisms, access point placement, and rogue device detection capabilities.
Testing identifies vulnerabilities such as weak encryption (WEP or misconfigured WPA), evil twin attacks, client isolation failures, unauthorised access points, wireless intrusion detection bypass techniques, and Bluetooth-based attacks. Wireless pen testers use specialised equipment to analyse the radio spectrum, capture and analyse wireless traffic, attempt authentication bypass, and evaluate the effectiveness of wireless security monitoring.
This testing is essential for organisations with guest Wi-Fi networks, wireless point-of-sale systems, warehouse Wi-Fi, campus networks, and any environment where wireless access could provide an attacker with network access. Wireless pen testing is required by PCI DSS for environments with wireless networks connected to the cardholder data environment and is recommended by ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials as part of comprehensive security testing.

Wireless Penetration Testing FAQs
Does wireless testing require on-site presence?+
Yes, wireless penetration testing requires physical presence to assess radio-frequency signals, identify rogue access points, and test the wireless environment. This cannot be done remotely.
What wireless protocols are tested?+
Testing typically covers Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax), and may include Bluetooth, Zigbee, and other RF protocols depending on scope and the technologies deployed.
How does wireless pen testing differ from a wireless audit?+
A wireless audit reviews configurations against best practices. Wireless pen testing actively attempts to exploit vulnerabilities to gain network access, demonstrating real-world attack scenarios.
