Verify security with expert-led wireless penetration testing services
Attackers are increasingly targeting corporate networks to gain a foothold within internal environments. Let NuHarbor engineers discover network vulnerabilities before others do with our wireless penetration testing services.
Let's talk
Cybersecurity Services trusted by 500+ organizations and growing!
NuHarbor conducted a web application penetration test on a few of our edge applications. They discovered many configuration weaknesses including insecure direct object reference (IDOR). They notified us immediately and offered advice on how to fix it. Their skilled engineers provided step-by-step assistance and retested to ensure that this critical vulnerability was fixed.

Wifi. Yeah, that's an unfamiliar animal to deal with. We hired NuHarbor to test the wireless networks we provide for our employees and customers to access store services. NuHarbor came onsite and set up their "toolkit" with antennas sticking out all around. They were able to setup a rogue access point, mimicking our access points, and users unknowingly logged on. NuHarbor initiated an evil twin attack to capture and inject packages into the network stream between user computers and other systems and then delivered findings so we could educate and curve our user behavior.
Director
Retail Business
NuHarbor performed an external penetration test on our networks and alerted us to critical vulnerabilities. They let us know what the affected response might be from the host before they tried to exploit it. We were updated twice a day which was super helpful to me and my staff. They also provided great remedial guidance they helped us quickly correct vulnerabilities.

Hospitality Company
NuHarbor waged a phishing campaign against our employees by mirroring a realistic payroll website that we use in our company. The NuHarbor engineers captured several IR administrators' credentials. With domain administrator access, they were able to compromise our whole domain within 20 minutes of starting the phishing campaign. We had the opportunity to show our leadership how pertinent it is to implement better user account practices, MFA, and improved use security awareness training and build the funds into our annual IT security budget.

As the shift from wired to wireless infrastructure continues, so do the methods used for detecting attack paths and backdoors. We scan your network for entry points and prevent attackers from gaining access.
- Information gathering phase: Engineers find and map wireless networks with 802.11 sniffing techniques. Identify SSIDs (including cloaked), encryption protocols, and authentication methods.
- Offensive tests: We evaluate your organization’s detection and response capabilities against commonly exploited attack vectors.
- Wireless tests: Evaluate the security of your access point deployment. Our engineers check configurations, credentials, and encryptions. Verify AP isolation and investigate the remote management of the devices. Validate the configurations of your captive portals, VLAN segmentation, and hardware.
Wireless testing checklist
Our testing engineers look for a variety of exploits during wireless penetration testing. Here are some of the ways we find them:
Specific Wireless IPS Tests
Evaluate the detection and response capabilities of the Wireless IDS/IPS.
Captive Portal Testing
Bypass the Captive Portal’s authentication for the guest wireless network.
VLAN Isolation Verification
Connect or reach the internal corporate network via the guest wireless network.
Signal Radiation Testing
Analyze the wireless solution’s signal coverage using standard endpoint and directional antennas.
Evaluation of AP deployment
Evaluate access point configuration (and other wireless networking devices) against vulnerabilities such as weak passwords in remote management of the device.
Specific Vulnerabilities of Wireless Devices
Exploit known vulnerabilities in the wireless network’s equipment.
Authentication Protocols
Verify correct protocol deployment. This protocol is immune to both cracking and brute force attacks due to Public Key Certificates at the Access Point sides, but only if deployed properly.
AP Isolation
Verify if AP isolation or client isolation is enabled on the access points.
Offensive testing checklist
We simulate real-world attacks. Here are a few of the attack methods we use to test your defenses:
Accidental Association
Determine if the WIPS sensor reports and/or terminates an authorized client that connects to a non-company network.
Spoofing (Client Impersonation)
Spoof an authorized client’s MAC address to verify if the IDS/IPS sensor detects the masquerading attempt.
Evil Twin/Man-in-the-Middle
Deploy an AP to mimic the real access point. Verify if clients connect and if the IDS/IPS sensors detect it. This test depends, both from a feasibility and time perspective, on the availability of authorized clients connecting to the wireless infrastructure.
Open AP/Hotspots
Deploy an open AP (AP implementing no security features) within the reach of the IDS/IPS sensors to evaluate if they’re found.
Fake/Rogue AP
Deploy a rogue AP within the reach of the IDS/IPS sensors to evaluate if they’re found and reported.
Overcome resource and expertise challenges with wireless penetration testing services
Organizations are struggling with the challenge of protecting digital assets due to continual and changing threats, complex tools, and limited resources. Common challenges to managing an effective security operation include:
- Adversaries operating 24/7, but you are closer to 8/5
- Spending too much time on too many tools
- Struggling to investigate incidents with quick responses
- Dealing with the high cost of training and retaining staff
- Balancing internal division of labor challenges related to administration and development
- Effectively communicating cyber risk to non-technical stakeholders
Cybersecurity testing is not an extra. It’s a necessity.
Expert-led testing by a reputable third-party is an investment in improved security and stability. External attackers succeed because they approach your systems in ways that you cannot expect. We bring that perspective and experience, ranking all findings for impact and ease of remediation so you can improve your security and resolve issues faster.
34%
of organizations globally say security testing and assessment is the hardest role for them to fill (Fortinet)
54%
of organizations with cybersecurity incident response plans fail to test them (IBM)
95%
of security teams are seeing a slower response to patching critical vulnerabilities (colbalt.io)
