Session
In Wi-Fi-So-Serious, we will explore setting up and troubleshooting our 802.11 assessment rig. Then we will look at passive reconnaissance and cracking different Wi-Fi security protocols. Using the Kali Linux VM we will setup our 802.11 cards in monitor mode and see how to set them up to collect PCAPs. Troubleshoot drivers and common Linux commands needed for troubleshooting the cards. We will work with command line tools such as iw, iwconfig, hostapd, wpa_cli, wpa_supplicant and others. Next move on to passive collections and common Wireshark display filters. Finishing up the lecture portion of the class with cracking common 802.11 security protocols using such tools as Aircrack-ng, Wifite, Airgeddon, Reaver, and Wacker. And finally, we will finish out the workshop with a Capture The Flag (CTF) so all participants can apply what we have learned during the workshop. The participants will also learn how to setup a lab that they can take home with them.
