Building a Pentesting Lab for Wireless Networks

Building a Pentesting Lab for Wireless Networks

By: Fadyushin, Aaron Woody, Popov

Overview of this book

Starting with the basics of wireless networking and its associated risks, we will guide you through the stages of creating a penetration testing lab with wireless access and preparing your wireless penetration testing machine. This book will guide you through configuring hardware and virtual network devices, filling the lab network with applications and security solutions, and making it look and work like a real enterprise network. The resulting lab protected with WPA-Enterprise will let you practice most of the attack techniques used in penetration testing projects. Along with a review of penetration testing frameworks, this book is also a detailed manual on preparing a platform for wireless penetration testing. By the end of this book, you will be at the point when you can practice, and research without worrying about your lab environment for every task.

Planning lab security

After defining the lab topology and choosing the lab components, it is time to have a closer look at the security. Obviously, we do not want to become somebody's victim due to the fact that we intentionally leave a lot of vulnerabilities in a lab environment.

At the same time, practicing security evasion techniques is definitely important for penetration testers and security specialists, especially for developing their skills to the advanced level.

According to our general security requirements and the purpose of building a lab, we are going to configure maximal security at the entry points to our lab network: at the gateway and at the trusted WLAN.

Further, we want to define the lab security requirements in detail and group them by areas.

Access control

Access control is a powerful measure that allows us to enforce security if it is designed and configured properly. At the same time, it increases network complexity making attacks more sophisticated and providing the...
