Summary

In this chapter, we covered how to snoop on wireless devices, identify something about their histories, perform a man-in-the-middle attack on them, and perform a limited range of exploits against them. We set up WEP and WPA-2 secured networks and successfully performed exploits against them. These skills form the basis of the understanding of wireless penetration testing, and the core concepts will carry you a long way as a basis for a methodology. From these core skills, you should be able to perform tests against wireless networks as well as apply these skills in other tests. For example, man-in-the-middle toolkits can be used to proxy other devices to view data in transit where normal proxies are unavailable.

The next chapter covers social engineering in broad terms. It has some challenges for face-to-face social engineering practice: some attacks will require social engineering to perform and set up a rabbit trail across the Internet. This will be a fun chapter, so if you&apos...
