Wireless Penetration Testing Services That Secure the Airwaves

You can lock the doors and patch the servers—but what about your wireless network? If attackers can breach Wi-Fi, they might not need to touch your firewall. That’s why wireless penetration testing is essential. It reveals weaknesses in your wireless setup before someone else finds them. At Adversim, we test your wireless environment just like a real intruder would—quietly, methodically, and effectively.

What Is Wireless Penetration Testing?

Expose Hidden Risks in Your Wi-Fi Network

Wireless penetration testing evaluates the security of your organization’s wireless networks, including guest, internal, and hidden SSIDs. It simulates how attackers could exploit weak encryption, misconfigured access points, or rogue devices to get inside your network.

We analyze how your wireless infrastructure handles real-world attack attempts. The test helps you uncover risks like unauthorized access, man-in-the-middle attacks, and improper segmentation. In short, it makes sure your Wi-Fi isn’t your weakest link.


Why Wireless Penetration Testing Is Critical

Wi-Fi networks offer convenience—but that convenience can come at a price. Without testing, wireless misconfigurations can create silent entry points into your environment. Attackers often target wireless because it’s fast, remote, and often overlooked.

Wireless testing helps you:

  • Detect weak encryption (like WEP or misused WPA2)

  • Find insecure access points or rogue devices

  • Identify signal bleed into public spaces

  • Validate wireless segmentation and isolation

  • Test guest networks for improper access

  • Uncover credential reuse across SSIDs

This type of testing gives you a clear picture of how safe your wireless really is—and where you need to strengthen it.

Our Wireless Penetration Testing Methodology

internal network penetration test reconnaissance

Wireless Reconnaissance

We begin by scanning for all nearby SSIDs, hidden networks, and rogue access points. This step helps us understand the wireless landscape around your environmen

vulnerability identification for internal penetration testing

Vulnerability Discovery

Next, we analyze encryption protocols, authentication methods, and segmentation. We also test signal bleed and wireless range exposure.

Exploitation

We attempt real-world wireless attacks—such as WPA2 cracking, evil twin setups, deauthentication attacks, and rogue AP deployment—to evaluate the risk of intrusion.

Network Access Testing

If access is gained, we assess what internal systems are exposed. We check for lateral movement opportunities, shared resources, and poor access controls.

Frequently Asked Questions About Internal Penetration Testing

Wireless penetration testing simulates how attackers could break into your network using Wi-Fi. It tests access points, encryption settings, and user segmentation for weaknesses.

Wireless networks are often accessible from outside the building. If they’re not secure, attackers can bypass your firewall completely. Testing helps eliminate that risk.

Unlike internal or external testing, this test focuses on wireless signals and access methods. It reveals flaws in SSID configurations, radio frequency exposure, and device authentication.

No. We can certainly visit your site if that is what you prefer, but we can also send an appliance to perform the testing remotely to save you time and money.

We use tools like Aircrack-ng, Kismet, Bettercap, and custom scripts. We also bring specialized antennas to test signal range and interference.

No. We coordinate with your team and schedule low-impact testing times. We avoid disrupting your users or knocking systems offline during assessments.

You’ll get a full report with an executive summary, technical details, screenshots of successful attacks, risk ratings, and prioritized fixes.

Annually is ideal. You should also test after any major wireless infrastructure changes—like a new access point rollout, SSID reconfiguration, or network expansion.

Yes. PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other frameworks require secure wireless networks. Wireless testing helps prove that your Wi-Fi setup meets those standards

Absolutely. We offer follow-up guidance, segmentation plans, encryption improvements, and access control hardening to close the gaps we find.

Compliance and Framework Alignment

Internal penetration testing isn’t just about security—it’s also essential for meeting compliance standards. Many industries are required to test their internal controls regularly to protect sensitive data and prove that safeguards are working. Our testing approach is aligned with leading frameworks and regulations, so you can address both technical risks and audit readiness in one engagement. Below are some of the key standards our internal penetration testing services support.
