Hi everyone.
I'm Matt Lloyd Davies, and welcome to Specialized Attacks: Wireless, a course
dedicated to exploring attacks against Wi‑Fi protocols,
infrastructure, and clients.
In this course, you'll learn how hackers exploit weaknesses and
vulnerabilities in Wi‑Fi technologies. First, we'll review various
radio protocols to understand where they fit into the data rate
versus range spectrum, and how their implementation makes them
susceptible to hacking. Next, we'll look at specific techniques to
target wireless protocols,
infrastructure, and client devices to gain access to networks and assets,
steal information, and deny access to systems.
Finally,
we'll combine some of these techniques to create advanced
attacks that are used by real‑world threat actors to gain
access to systems and networks.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to identify weaknesses in wireless
assets and systems and make recommendations to improve the security posture of
an organization's wireless network infrastructure.
Before starting this course, you should have a sound working
knowledge of networking concepts. You should also be comfortable
working at the Linux command line and have some experience of
penetration testing tools and techniques.
Following this course,
you should feel comfortable diving into other specialized attacks and
penetration testing courses at Pluralsight to increase your depth of
knowledge and broaden your skillset.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn more about Wi‑Fi security with
the Specialized Attacks: Wireless course here at Pluralsight.
