Wireless Network Penetration Testing
Identify vulnerabilities in your wireless infrastructure before attackers do
What this engagement covers
The service
Our wireless penetration testing assesses the security of your WiFi networks, access points, and wireless client configurations. We identify rogue access points, weak encryption, misconfigured authentication, and attack paths that could allow unauthorized network access.
What we test
We assess your wireless network architecture including WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise and Personal configurations, RADIUS authentication, guest network isolation, rogue access point detection, wireless IDS/IPS effectiveness, Bluetooth exposure, and client-side wireless security. We test from both the perspective of an outsider and a connected guest.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting Wireless Network Penetration Testing with no internal credentials, source code, or architecture documentation. Assesses perimeter exposure, unauthenticated attack paths, and edge resilience.
Gray Box Assessment (Recommended)
CredentialedSimulates an authenticated user, tenant, or insider threat within Wireless Network Penetration Testing. We evaluate role segregation, authorization boundaries, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws across user tiers.
White Box / Source-Assisted
Full-KnowledgeConducted with direct access to architecture schematics, configuration files, and API/code documentation. Eliminates blind spots and provides exhaustive coverage of security mechanisms governing Wireless Network Penetration Testing.

How we run it
We perform passive and active wireless reconnaissance to map your radio environment, identify all access points and SSIDs, and detect rogue or unauthorized devices. We then attempt to crack wireless credentials, bypass captive portals, perform deauthentication attacks, exploit EAP vulnerabilities, and pivot from guest to corporate networks.

Who this is for
Auditor-Ready Compliance Crosswalk
| Framework | Control Section | Testing Evidence & Report Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| PCI DSS v4.0 | Requirement 11.4 & 11.4.3 | Adversary-driven external and internal penetration testing with application-layer validation and vulnerability remediation verification. |
| SOC 2 Type II | CC4.1, CC7.1, CC7.2 | Technical testing evidence validating system boundaries, access restrictions, and vulnerability identification controls. |
| HIPAA Security Rule | 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(8) | Formal technical evaluation verifying the integrity of ePHI safeguards, network segmentation, and privileged access safeguards. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | Control A.8.8 & A.8.20 | Management of technical vulnerabilities and network security verification through independent technical assessments. |

Findings are mapped to PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scoping, methodology, compliance validation, and deliverables.
Our Wireless Network Penetration Testing service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: Wireless environment mapping and heat analysis, Access point inventory and configuration review, Rogue access point detection results, Authentication and encryption assessment, Guest network isolation test results. Every engagement includes reproducible proof-of-concept exploits, developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest.
Yes. Findings are directly mapped to PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53 control requirements. The resulting report is auditor-ready and formatted for immediate submission to SOC 2 CPAs, PCI QSAs, and enterprise vendor risk assessment teams.
Yes. Every Lorikeet Security engagement includes free retesting within 30 to 60 days to validate that your remediation patches successfully resolve the identified vulnerabilities before your final report is issued.
Typical active testing turnaround is 3-5 days, with critical findings reported immediately via your Talon portal so your engineering team can begin remediation without waiting for the final PDF.
