Wireless Security Testing
Author: Amos Kimunya
Platform: Kali Linux
Wireless Adapter: TP-Link 725N
Test Access Point: Amos_Net
Overview
This project documents an authorized wireless security assessment performed in a controlled lab environment. It explores wireless network discovery, access point identification, security configuration, packet capture, authentication, and password-strength assessment.
The assessment focuses on understanding how wireless security controls work and how weaknesses in configuration or password selection can affect network security.
Objectives
- Verify wireless adapter capabilities.
- Identify the authorized access point.
- Examine the advertised wireless security configuration.
- Understand wireless monitoring and authentication traffic.
- Evaluate password strength within the authorized lab.
- Document findings and recommend security improvements.
