This beginner to intermediate course will teach you the skills and tools used by pentesters to assess the security of WiFi network. I will actually teach you, what is behind the attacks, and not just show you a “tool”. It is focused around the use of the hacking distribution Kali Linux and will cover both the theory, practical skills, tools and techniques used to hack WiFi network and clients.

Since, it is based on Kali Linux it will help you prepare for the Offensive Security Wifi Professional exam (which the instructor holds himself) – but is not associated with Offensive Security. We will start with the basics of WiFi technology like frequencies, channels, antennas and move into different operation modes etc. Then I will teach you how to hack WiFi network in all types of setups.

There is a very comprehensive 2 hours module on password cracking not only related to WiFi but how to use different techniques and tools to be successful in cracking even complex passwords. I will then move into to more advanced hacks like bypassing AP restrictions, captive portals and setting up rogue AP and talk about “thinking out of the box” as a pentester. There are other ways to hack WiFi networks than just cracking a WEP/WPA key.
