With the proliferation of wireless networks, the increase in security of these networks has never been more important. As with the wired, wireless has its fair share of utilities to both, audit and attack the various hosts and networks. As a penetration tester, it is our job to make sure that the wireless networks are set up correctly and that there are no other networks that are in range and shouldn't be there, as well as making sure that they are not interfering with the networks in-scope.
In the following section, I will show examples of some of the wireless utilities that I use during penetration testing. There are a lot of great tools out there, and I could probably devote a whole book just going over them, but I wanted to select a sample that shows a variety of testing strategies.
