Wireless network penetration testing
Now more than ever industry is valuing mobility and flexibility for operations, staff and data. Wireless networks are essential for businesses to simply remain competitive. The significant reliance on effective wireless networks for access to data, services and systems means a secure wireless network should be regarded as a business-critical asset.
Trusted cyber security & compliance services from a certified provider
Here’s what our customers say about us
We approached Bulletproof as one of several suppliers who offer penetration testing services. Out of all those contacted, Bulletproof were by far the most professional and slick to work with. From start to finish, the whole process was painless and ran like clockwork. The conclusive pen test report was succinct with clear steps of resolution provided. We were genuinely impressed with how easy Bulletproof were to work with, and would definitely recommend.
This was a very straightforward process. I had enough information up front to understand the process, and did not need to ask many questions along the way. Great service!
What is wireless penetration testing?
Wireless networks are particularly susceptible to cyber criminals. Attacks can be difficult to detect and defend against due to the diffuse nature of potential threat actors. Wireless penetration testing allows companies to stress-test their wireless networks and identify security vulnerabilities enabling them to operate with confidence moving forward. A robust wireless network allows your business to operate safely, securely and most importantly without any significant downtime.
Wireless penetration testing seeks to identify weaknesses in wireless architectures by analysing and inspecting:
- Packets- network traffic travelling via TCP/IP protocols.
- Access points- devices that create the wireless local area network WLAN.
- Rogue devices- devices that are connected to the network without permission to access it.
- Encryption features- wireless encryption via WEP, WPA and WPA2 protocols.
- Patching levels- identifies the most recent bug fixes and available software updates.

Wireless pen test FAQs
What is wireless penetration testing?
A wireless network penetration test is a comprehensive security review where a qualified tester takes on the role of a hacker. They’ll attempt to uncover and exploit security vulnerabilities or misconfigurations specific to your wireless network. Wireless network penetration testing provides vital information on how to secure your app and, ultimately, helps keep your organisation secure online.
How much does wireless penetration testing cost?
All our tests are bespoke and tailored to your specific requirements. Get in touch with our team for a free, no-obligation quote.
What will the pen test report contain?
After our team of experts complete the wireless app penetration testing, you will receive a comprehensive report that will contain the following:
- All risks based on the current server/ application setup/configuration
- Vulnerabilities and running services for the servers and applications
- What has been done to exploit each security issue
- Remediation steps
- Near-term and long-term actions
All testing programmes are bespoke to your needs and organisation so please use the above as a guide.
How long does a test normally take?
- Small apps, networks, cloud systems: 2-3 days
- Medium apps, networks, cloud systems: 5-10 days
- Larger apps, networks, cloud systems:10 days+
All tests are tailored to you so use this as a guide.
Will my business be disrupted during the test?
Testing can be performed against a non-production replica of your live environment, such as a UAT/QA environment, to ensure no risk to your live services. If testing against production is unavoidable, we can coordinate our testing activities to minimise the impact. You can also specify things like no denial of service (DoS), meaning tests will have a negligible impact on your day-to-day operations.
Do you offer free retests?
Whilst we do not offer free retesting, we do offer 12-month vulnerability scanning.
Do you recommend other tests to complement certain pen tests?
Regular and comprehensive assessments of your cyber security are always recommended. The ramifications of security breaches can result in severe financial and reputational losses. We would always advise the safest approach for a company is to regard your cyber security holistically, weaknesses in one area may undermine security implemented elsewhere.
