Let’s Talk Wireless Pentesting Equipment

Let’s Talk Wireless Pentesting Equipment






It seems like more and more often I get asked what equipment I utilize for performing wireless penetration tests (802.11 wireless networking). In this post I will talk about the equipment I use, where to buy it, and some brief information about each tool.

EQUIPMENT

Crazyradio PA

  • Cost – $37
  • Amazon purchase link
  • Utilized to perform a MouseJack exploit (keystroke injection) against vulnerable devices. Check out our White Oak Security blog post on this. Due to wireless engagements being onsite, I tend to utilize this tool to demonstrate to clients what a physical presence to the building could be utilized to perform an attack.

Panda Wireless PAU09 N600

  • Cost – $40
  • Amazon purchase link
  • Utilized to test against various wireless technologies (WEP, WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-Enterprise)
  • I carry two of these around on my wireless engagements. Utilizing one of the cards to perform monitoring and another card to perform injection attacks.

WiFi Pineapple

  • Cost – $99
  • Hak5 purchase link
  • All in one wireless pentesting platform
  • Utilized primarily when targeting WPA2-Enterprise networks. The software included makes it easy to stand up a fake access point in an attempt to capture enterprise credentials.

GlobalSat GPS Receiver

  • Cost – $31
  • Amazon purchase link
  • USB GPS receiver
  • Utilized to capture GPS coordinates of logged access points. This can be imported into a mapping software to display the access points around a clients physical building.

CLOSING

These are the tools I utilize when performing a wireless penetration test (depending on the goal of the assessment). In the next series of wireless blog posts I will dive into executing the toolsets and specific items to look for when performing a wireless penetration test.

28 Deep Learning Interview Questions Recruiters are Asking in 2021 Deep Learning Basics Deep Learning, a subset of machine learning has taken over the world as a leading technology today. It imitates the complex functionalities of the human brain to use unstructured data to decipher meaning and teach machines. From industries like automotive, healthcare, security, to content creation, the  applications of deep learning  are many and on the rise. Deep Learning Interview Questions What is Deep Learning? Deep learning is a machine learning technology that involves neural networks. The term ‘deep’ in deep learning refers to the hierarchical structure of the networks used to teach computers natural human actions. It is commonly used in medical research, driverless cars, and other cases where precision and accuracy are important. What is the difference between deep learning, machine learning and AI? Both  Deep Learning and Machine Learning are part of Artificial intelligence ...

Success In Pentesting: Learn To Code Cybersecurity is rapidly becoming one of the most sought-after areas of the job market. People from all walks of life have started to develop an interest in Cybersecurity, including fresh high school and college graduates, IT specialists who want to adjust their focus and deal with cutting-edge security issues, and even people in entirely unrelated careers.  The topic of breaking into cybersecurity is a complex one involving debates about certificates versus formal college degrees, gatekeeping, and technical ability. This subject can be somewhat contentious.  As a pentester by trade, I’ll speak from that perspective here, but many of the points I make are valid for other cybersecurity roles as well. I’m somewhat biased toward formal education, in that I believe that it provides a better foundation on average than self-study alone.  That said, I have seen firsthand that it’s entirely possible for self-starters with a strong drive to do ...
