Wireless Hacking, Pentesting, and Defense
Class Overview
This Wireless Hacking, PenTesting, and Defense
, or WHPD, knowledge training is ideal for engineers who need to learn more about the weaknesses of Wi-Fi networks.
This 4-day training class covers a multitude of topics ranging from introducing Wi-Fi security concepts, to advanced hacking/PenTesting of Wi-Fi networks. This class provides the networking security professional with a firm underpinning of knowledge to help them to advance in the wireless networking industry, whether it be in defense or testing of Wi-Fi security.
To quote from John Chambers, ex-CEO of Cisco: “There are two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those who don't know they have been hacked.” Do you know how secure your Wi-Fi network is? Do you know how to attack, PenTest, and defend your Wi-Fi network? At the end of this training, your answers to these questions will be a resounding “Yes!”
From basic Wi-Fi security theory to breaking Wi-Fi security protocols, including Personal and Enterprise modes of security. Weaknesses in Wi-Fi will be discussed, along with benefits of WPA3. Weaknesses in WPA3 will also be discussed. Students will gain an appreciation of 802.11 security Frame Exchange processes. This class delivers hands-on training that will benefit anyone working with networks in the wireless IT technology industry.
Main Areas Covered by WHPD:
WLAN security
Using Wireshark with Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi security weaknesses
How to exploit Wi-Fi security weaknesses
How to protect Wi-Fi security
How to detect attacks on Wi-Fi security
The future of Wi-Fi security
