WiFi & RF Pentesting
WHOAMI's WiFi and RF Pentesting service evaluates the security of your wireless networks and radio frequency communications.
WHOAMI's WiFi and RF Pentesting service evaluates the security of your wireless networks and radio frequency communications. With the exponential increase in the use of wireless technologies in corporate environments, it is essential to identify vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access to internal networks from outside your facilities.
WiFi and RF Pentesting Service
WHOAMI offers its WiFi and RF Pentesting service to companies that need to evaluate the security of their wireless networks and radio frequency communications. Our approach combines advanced wireless pentesting techniques with knowledge of European and international regulatory frameworks relevant to organizations globally.
WiFi and RF Pentesting for Companies and SMEs
Our WiFi and RF Pentesting service adapts to both large organizations with extensive wireless infrastructure and SMEs that use WiFi networks for critical operations. Wireless networks are especially vulnerable because their signals propagate beyond physical boundaries, allowing external attackers to attempt access without being physically present.
Especially for SMEs, our pentests provide an efficient way to identify critical vulnerabilities in WiFi networks that could allow unauthorized access to the corporate network, prioritizing remediations according to real risk.
WiFi and RF Pentesting Objectives
The primary objective of WiFi and RF Pentesting is to identify vulnerabilities in wireless networks and radio frequency communications that could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to your corporate network. Wireless technologies pose unique threats as their signals propagate beyond physical boundaries.
Specific objectives include:
- Identify wireless configurations that increase exposure (obsolete encryption, weak credentials, or insecure settings)
- Assess authentication and access control mechanisms (including enterprise deployments) for design/configuration weaknesses
- Review wireless exposure beyond the physical perimeter (coverage, range, and entry points)
- Detect unauthorized access points or configurations inconsistent with security policy
- Validate the effectiveness of wireless controls and monitoring against realistic scenarios
Key Responsibilities of WiFi and RF Pentesting Service
The main responsibilities of our WiFi and RF Pentesting service include identifying vulnerabilities in wireless networks through specialized techniques, evaluating the security of encryption and authentication protocols, testing resilience against real attacks, identifying rogue access points and insecure configurations, and providing prioritized recommendations for remediation based on real risk.
WHOAMI's Approach to WiFi and RF Pentesting
Unlike WiFi assessments that limit themselves to automated scanners, our approach uses advanced wireless pentesting techniques based on recognized methodologies and expert knowledge. We don't just identify vulnerabilities: we demonstrate how an attacker would exploit them and what impact it would have on your organization.
Our WiFi and RF pentesting service integrates:
- Advanced techniques: We use specialized wireless pentesting techniques that require expert knowledge and specialized equipment
- OWISAM methodology: We follow the OWISAM methodology that defines 64 technical controls to ensure comprehensive assessments
- Attack context: We don't just report vulnerabilities, we explain how an attacker would exploit them and what impact it would have
- Coverage analysis: We evaluate the range of wireless signals and how they could be intercepted from outside
WHOAMI Difference
While other WiFi assessment services limit themselves to automated scanners and vulnerability reports, our approach combines advanced pentesting techniques with real impact analysis. We don't just find vulnerabilities: we demonstrate how an attacker would exploit them to access your corporate network and what impact it would have.
WiFi and RF Pentesting Benefits
The benefits of WiFi and RF Pentesting are fundamental to protecting wireless networks:
Wireless Network Protection
Identifies vulnerabilities in WiFi networks that could allow unauthorized access to your corporate network from outside your facilities, providing insights on how an external attacker could compromise your security.
Information Leakage Prevention
Prevents information leakage and malware distribution through insecure wireless networks that could be exploited by external attackers to access sensitive information.
Control Validation
Determines if wireless security devices are capable of detecting and preventing real wireless attacks, not just known vulnerabilities.
Regulatory Compliance
Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements regarding wireless technologies, providing evidence of periodic security assessments.
WiFi Pentesting vs Automated Network Scanners
There is a fundamental difference between a WiFi pentest performed by experts and automated wireless network scanners:
WiFi Pentesting (Our Service)
- Identifies vulnerabilities through specialized wireless pentesting techniques
- Evaluates the real impact of vulnerabilities in the context of your organization
- Demonstrates how an attacker would exploit vulnerabilities for unauthorized access
- Provides coverage and signal range analysis
- Requires expert knowledge and specialized equipment
Automated Scanners
- Detect known vulnerabilities through signatures and databases
- Do not evaluate real impact or attack context
- Do not demonstrate how vulnerabilities would be exploited
- Do not provide coverage and range analysis
- Do not require specialized expert knowledge
Recommendation: Automated scanners are useful as a complement, but they do not replace a WiFi pentest performed by experts. A pentest provides insights on how an attacker would exploit vulnerabilities and what impact it would have, which scanners cannot provide.
WiFi and RF Pentesting Process
Our WiFi and RF Pentesting service is designed to evaluate the security of wireless networks and radio frequency communications. We use recognized methodologies such as OWISAM (Open Wireless Security Assessment Methodology) to ensure a comprehensive assessment.
Assessment Areas
WiFi and RF pentesting covers multiple specialized areas:
- Corporate WiFi security: configuration, segmentation, and access control
- Encryption and authentication: review of obsolete or misconfigured deployments
- Wireless exposure: coverage, perimeter leakage, and entry points
- Unauthorized access points: detection and inconsistency analysis
- RF / radio frequency: evaluation of relevant communications in the client’s environment
OWISAM Methodology: We use the OWISAM methodology that defines 64 technical controls grouped into 10 categories to ensure a comprehensive assessment of wireless infrastructures. This methodology provides a structured framework for identifying specific vulnerabilities.
Common Risk Patterns We Typically See
In real environments, the most frequent issues usually fall into:
- Obsolete or misconfigured encryption/authentication
- Weak credential management and inconsistent policies
- Perimeter leakage (excessive coverage or uncontrolled entry points)
- Unauthorized access points or incomplete inventory
- Limited monitoring and response for wireless anomalies
Important: Wireless networks are especially vulnerable because their signals propagate beyond physical boundaries, allowing external attackers to attempt access without being physically present. A WiFi pentest identifies these vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
How We Execute It (High Level)
The engagement is performed in a controlled, agreed manner—combining configuration review, practical validation, and perimeter exposure assessment—to produce actionable findings without turning the page into a technical how-to.
When Do You Need WiFi and RF Pentesting?
WiFi and RF Pentesting is recommended in the following situations:
- After implementing WiFi networks: To validate the security of new wireless implementations before they are exploited
- Periodic assessment: As part of an ongoing security program (recommended at least once a year) to maintain a solid security posture
- After incidents: To identify vulnerabilities after a security incident that could indicate weaknesses in wireless networks
- Regulatory compliance: To comply with regulations requiring periodic wireless security assessments
- Before expansions: Before expanding wireless infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities before deployment
Best practices: It is recommended to conduct WiFi pentests periodically, especially in organizations with extensive wireless infrastructure or strict security requirements. The combination of periodic assessments and proactive remediation maintains a solid security posture.
