Summary
In this chapter, we reviewed which wireless technologies are used to transfer data and especially highlighted the Wi-Fi technology as the technology that we will employ to provide network access to our penetration testing lab.
During our journey through this chapter, we also looked at the security mechanisms that are used to secure access to wireless networks, their typical threads, and common misconfigurations that lead to security breaches and allow attackers to harm corporate and private wireless networks.
The brief attack methodology overview has given us a general understanding of how attackers normally act during wireless attacks and how they bypass common security mechanisms by exploiting certain flaws in those mechanisms.
We also ...
