Penetration Testing on Wireless Network 802.11i

Abstract

Penetration testing helps to secure networks, and highlights the security issues. In this thesis investigate different
aspects of penetration testing including tools, attack methodologies, and defence strategies. More specifically, we performed
different penetration tests using a private networks, devices, and virtualized systems and tools. We predominately used tools within
the Kali Linux suite. The attacks we performed included: Smartphone penetration testing, hacking phones Bluetooth, traffic
sniffing, hacking WPA Protected Wi-Fi, Man-in-the-Middle attack, spying (accessing a PC microphone), hacking phones
Bluetooth, and hacking remote PC via IP and open ports using advanced port scanner. The results are then summarized and
discussed. The thesis also outlined the detailed steps and methods while conducting these attacks.
