Wireless Assessment

The Wireless Assessment is a thorough and non-destructive testing engagement designed to assess the wireless security protocols of your organization. This assessment is aimed at simulating attacks from highly determined adversaries to evaluate the effectiveness of your current security measures. Our team follows a comprehensive set of testing steps to gain valuable insights into your security infrastructure’s resilience in the face of potential attacks. These testing steps include:

These testing steps include:

Access Point Probing – We systematically assess your access points to identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses that attackers could exploit.
Active Probing – We conduct active tests to evaluate the responsiveness and susceptibility of your wireless network to various attack scenarios.
Passive Sniffing – We monitor and analyze network traffic to detect any unauthorized or suspicious activities, focusing on potential security breaches.
Encryption Evaluation – We assess the strength and robustness of encryption protocols in place to protect your wireless communications.
Rogue Access Point Detection – We identify and assess any rogue access points that may pose security risks to your network.

By leveraging industry-leading assessment tools and techniques, we provide you with a detailed report that not only offers an overview of your current security posture but also provides an in-depth analysis of the implemented security features. The primary objective of the wireless assessment is to determine the extent to which your organization’s security can be compromised before the detection of an attack.

How We Do It

Coastline employs industry-standard tools and techniques to carry out the wireless security assessment. The process begins with a network topology discovery phase, where our experienced team scans all provided network addresses to identify open ports and services.

Penetration Testing

Black Box Testing – tester assumes the role of an external hacker, focusing on vulnerabilities exploitable from outside the network.
White Box Testing – tester is given full access to environment, enabling a comprehensive assessment of both internal and external vulnerabilities.
Grey Box Testing – tester strikes a balance between black-box & white-box approaches by having only some internal knowledge of the organization. This test allows us to efficiently assess the network security by focusing on high value systems.

Vulnerability Exploitation

Systematical assessment of the weaknesses and security gaps recognized during the first two initial phases. Our team attempts to exploit the identified vulnerabilities and assess their severity and potential impact on the organization’s infrastructure.

Following this, a discovery phase focused on network and hosts is conducted, utilizing various industry-accepted tools to scan all responsive hosts and identify any known security vulnerabilities. Once these initial steps are completed, Coastline proceeds with a variety of penetration tests, simulating the actions of a real-world hacker and attempting to exploit the vulnerabilities found within the systems on the target network.

What To Expect

Throughout the wireless security testing process, Coastline ensures transparency by providing the Client with a clear outline of the steps, processes, and methodologies employed. Our team meticulously documents and reports successful breach attempts, exploitable vulnerabilities, and other relevant data discovered during the assessment.

Upon completion of our wireless security assessment, we will provide you with a detailed report of the findings as well as best practice recommendations to enhance the security around your wireless network. The deliverable will provide the Client with valuable information on the current state of the security that exists within the organization, the presence of vulnerabilities, and additional information on the level of risk each vulnerability represents.
