Wireless Network VAPT Methodology

Wireless Network VAPT Methodology

Protect your Wi-Fi and wireless networks from unauthorized access.

At Fortify Solutions, our Wireless Network VAPT identifies vulnerabilities in your Wi-Fi infrastructure that attackers could exploit to gain unauthorized access, intercept data, or disrupt operations.

We assess both security configurations and operational practices to ensure your wireless environment is resilient against modern threats.

Our Approach

1. Reconnaissance & Network Discovery

• Identify wireless networks (authorized & rogue).

• Map access points (APs) and their coverage areas.

• Detect connected devices and client behaviors.
  Techniques: Passive scanning, active probing, spectrum analysis.

2. Configuration & Encryption Assessment

• Verify wireless encryption standards (WPA2, WPA3).

• Assess authentication mechanisms (EAP, PSK).

• Identify weak passphrases or outdated protocols (WEP, TKIP).

• Review SSID broadcasting, channel usage, and segmentation.

3. Vulnerability Identification

• Test for misconfigurations and insecure defaults.

• Detect rogue APs and “evil twin” attacks.

• Identify weak or re-used credentials.

• Evaluate susceptibility to de-authentication and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.

4. Exploitation Simulation (Controlled)

• Attempt secure, controlled exploitation of identified weaknesses.

• Capture and analyze handshake data for password cracking attempts.

• Simulate credential harvesting and unauthorized access scenarios.

5. Post-Exploitation & Impact Analysis

• Assess potential for lateral movement into internal networks.

• Demonstrate possible data exposure or service disruption.

• Measure real-world business risk from wireless compromise.

6. Reporting & Remediation Guidance

• Detailed findings with severity ratings.

• Risk impact analysis for each vulnerability.

• Clear, actionable remediation steps (e.g., configuration hardening, encryption upgrades).

• Retesting to verify fixes (if required).

Key Deliverables

• Executive Summary for management.

• Technical report for IT/security teams.

• Wireless security best practice checklist.

Outcome:
Your wireless network is strengthened against unauthorized access, eavesdropping, and exploitation — ensuring that only trusted users and devices can connect.
