Wireless Security Assessment

Wireless communications offer organizations and users many benefits such as portability and flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation costs. Wireless technologies cover a broad range of differing capabilities oriented toward different uses and needs. These technologies can offer dramatic cost savings and new capabilities to diverse applications ranging from retail settings to manufacturing shop floors to first responders.

However, risks are inherent in any wireless technology. Some of these risks are similar to those of wired networks; some are exacerbated by wireless connectivity; some are new. The most significant source of risks in wireless network is that the technology’s underlying communications medium, the airwave, is open to intruders, making it the logical equivalent of an Ethernet port in the parking lot.

The lost of confidentiality and integrity and the threat of denial of service (DoS) attacks are risks typically associated with wireless communications. Unauthorized users may gain access to company systems and information, corrupt the company’s data, consume network bandwidth, degrade network performance, launch attacks that prevent authorized users from accessing the network, or use company resources to launch attacks on other networks.

Wireless Security Survey

Wireless Security Survey Perimeter Check, Identification and GPS Mapping of:

  • Authorised Wireless Access Points
  • Rogue Wireless Access Points
  • Intrusion attempts
  • Neighbouring Wireless Points
  • Wireless-enabled Laptops
  • Bluetooth Devices (Phones, Printers, Modems, Fax machines, etc)

Bellua Wireless Penetration Test

  • Penetration Test of Discovered Wireless Access Points;
  • Penetration Test of WEP or WPA Wireless Access Points (using wep attack tools, insertion attacks, man-in-the-middle attack and social engineering);
  • Penetration Test of Discovered Wireless Enabled Laptops (using a honey pot WAP);
  • Penetration Test of Discovered Bluetooth Devices (Hand-phones, PDAs, Printers, Modems, etc)
