[Autogenerated] when learning and trying out new ___________ testing techniques,
I strongly recommend that you build a test environment.
Some of the techniques will cover in this course will
cause clients to be forcibly removed from.
Wireless networks will reveal sensitive information and may
cause configuration changes that could inadvertently
increase public exposure of a system, its resources or information.
The setup for this course is pretty straightforward.
Our testing machine is a Kali Linux virtual machine running in VMware
The target wireless access point is a TP link WR 8 41.
N wireless N router configured in access point mode.
If you're setting up a similar environment to follow along in this course,
then you don't have to use this access point as we won't be
exploiting any device specific vulnerabilities.
The client or victim devices are fully patched.
Windows 10 virtual machine with default security configuration.
The Windows 10 VM has a wireless interface provided by a panda.
Wireless five decibel 300 megabit per second.
Wireless N USB adapter with high gain antenna but no other network connectivity.
The Cali VM has a wired interface to the access point for configuration.
A wireless interface provided by an alpha network
five decibel 150 bits per second.
Wireless network adapter and a bridge network connection to
the host for internet access configuration of the access
point is through your web browser.
The default IP address for the TP link.
Router is 192.168 dot 0.1.
To make things easier and to avoid accidentally hacking
someone else's TP link access point.
Let's change the wireless network name by choosing the
wireless menu option followed by basic settings.
In this case the default name is TP link 99 8 A which we changed
to Wi-Fi lab for the first couple of demos will disable the
security settings of the access point.
The techniques will you still work with full encryption
but by lowering the security threshold,
the demos will be more illustrative and we'll be able to see
what's going on more clearly to change the setting,
navigate the wireless security tab and select the
disabled wireless security radio button.
Will use a variety of open source wireless network testing tools in this course,
some of which are built into kali by default and some will need to
download and install aircraft energy is a suite of tools for
testing and auditing wifi network security.
It provides the capability to monitor wireless network traffic,
conduct replay and the authentication attacks and to act as a fake
access point as well as providing the ability to crack encryption
keys and inject wireless packets will use aircraft energy
extensively throughout this course.
Wireshark is the most popular network protocol analyzer and will
be familiar to all sys admins and ___________ testers in this
course will focus in particular on analyzing Wi-Fi management
control and data frames.
Just to show there's more to wireless testing than air crack n g will try out,
create a p which is a bad script for creating an access
point using native Linux commands.
Next up, we have a couple of spoofing tools.
First, there's Mac Changer,
a utility that makes the manipulation of mac
addresses of network interfaces trivial.
Finally, we have DNS spoof.
DNS Spoof creates fake replies to arbitrary DNS
address queries on the local network,
which is useful for bypassing hostname based access controls or in
conducting different types of on path attack.
Let's now take a look at how we can sniff and dissect packets
with the aircraft N G suite and Wireshark
