Why Do You Need WiFi Penetration Testing?

Wireless Attack Surface Uncovered

Networks are often overlooked, but insecure Wi‑Fi (WPA2/WPA3 misconfigurations, default credentials, guest network oversights) is a prime target.

Simulating Real-World threats

Using industry tools and techniques, packet sniffers, rogue AP deployment, MITM, password cracking, evil twin attacks, we replicate what real attackers would do.

Vulnerability Roadmap

We identify vulnerabilities in encryption, authentication, segmentation, and configuration and deliver prioritised remediation strategies for robust hardening.

What is a WiFi Penetration Test?

WiFi Penetration Testing is a security assessment that evaluates the resilience of your wireless networks against unauthorised access and data interception. It involves simulating real-world attacks on your WiFi infrastructure, including access points (APs), client devices, encryption methods, and configurations, to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.

This form of testing helps organisations uncover risks like weak encryption (WPA/WPA2/WPA3 flaws), rogue access points, insecure guest networks, and poorly segmented wireless zones. The goal is to harden your wireless perimeter, ensuring that only authorised users and devices can access your network safely.

WiFi Security Specialists

We Test The Key Areas of Your WiFi to Determine Areas of Weakness  

Access Point & Configuration Testing

We analyze all wireless access points for insecure setups, outdated protocols, and improper configurations. This includes checking for weak encryption (WPA/WPA2/WPA3), default credentials, and unauthorised (rogue) APs.

What We Find: Misconfigured security settings, hidden or rogue APs, vulnerable management interfaces.

Client Device Attack Simulation

We simulate real-world attacks on wireless clients using techniques like Evil Twin, captive portal spoofing, and de-authentication floods. This reveals how easily users and devices can be tricked into exposing sensitive data.

What We Find: Automatic connections to rogue networks, session hijack potential, weak endpoint protections.

Wireless Network Segmentation Testing

We test how well your wireless network is segmented, evaluating isolation between guest, IoT, and internal corporate zones. Using lateral movement attempts, we identify whether attackers could pivot from WiFi into your core infrastructure.

What We Find: Insufficient VLAN separation, firewall misconfigurations, exposed internal services.

Fuelcard Services
Information Security Manager

Pentest People stand out in the field of penetration testing due to the skillset of people they have working there. We undertook a complex bespoke pentest with them which required a lot of pre-work in order to make sure it was scoped correctly and they took the time to come onsite to make sure all was correct prior to commencing. From my experience with them, they are very intelligent people with a deep understanding of the security landscape and we will continue to use them for future testing requirements”.

Six-Step Method

Our Industry-Proven
Penetration Testing Methodology

DarkInvader Lock 2

Scoping & Intelligence Gathering

Our experts will listen to you and your needs to develop a tailored testing strategy. From here our consultants will use a wide variety of penetration testing tools and resources to gather information on your organisation.

DarkInvader Lock 2

Reconnaissance & Threat Modelling

After gathering enough information or consultants will develop an approach to testing your organisation, looking at 3 main factors; where are you most vulnerable, what are the best attack techniques for the job at hand and how can they deliver the test while safeguarding your business from any issues.

DarkInvader Lock 2

Vulnerability Analysis

In this phase, the defined targets are thoroughly scanned in order to uncover any existing vulnerabilities. This involves listening for open ports, identifying services that are running, and developing an attack plan based on the information collected from these scans.

DarkInvader Lock 2

Exploiting Your Systems

This stage is where our consultants see how far into your systems they can go using industry leading techniques, custom built tools and first-hand experience.

DarkInvader Lock 2

Determining Severity

After the consultant has a session running on a compromised machine they will determine the severity by seeing which assets and networks they can gain access to and how much information they can gather. This allows us to rank your vulnerabilities from low-critical in the SecurePortal

DarkInvader Lock 2

Reporting & Remediation

Now the test is complete our consultants will fill out a detailed report of their findings, broken down by category and type, adding any remediation advice to the exploits and vulnerabilities they discovered. This data will be accessible via SecurePortal and follow up calls will be made to walkthrough the test and the steps required to remove the risks found.

Frequently Asked 
Questions

Can you test remotely?

No, due to the nature of wireless signals, testing must be conducted on‑site.

How often should I have Wi‑Fi penetration testing?

We recommend at least bi-annually or any time you add guest networks, IoT devices, or upgrade encryption standards.
