Description

Step into the cutting-edge world of wireless ethical hacking and learn how to test and secure WiFi networks using two of the most powerful tools in the cybersecurity arsenal: the Hak5 WiFi Pineapple and the HackRF One. This course is designed for cybersecurity enthusiasts, ethical hackers, penetration testers, and anyone interested in mastering wireless network security through hands-on, practical exercises.You will explore how attackers exploit vulnerabilities in WiFi networks and how to defend against these attacks effectively by knowing how the attacks are executed. All demonstrations are performed in a controlled, ethical environment.What You’ll Learn:Set up and configure the Hak5 WiFi Pineapple for ethical hacking and penetration testing.Perform WiFi reconnaissance to identify access points and clients, and gather critical network information.Identify WiFi targets and the protocols used, and understand how they can be bypassed.Build customized captive portals, learning to retrieve access point passwords with custom-made captive portals.Understand the weaknesses of WPA3, Protected Management Frames (PMF), and Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) — traditional packet capture and deauthentication attacks are obsoleted by WPA3, PMF, and SAE, but hackers can still bypass them with WiFi Pineapple captive portals and HackRF One targeted channel jamming.Why Enroll?This course provides a real-world, hands-on approach to WiFi ethical hacking, combining the reconnaissance and exploitation power of the WiFi Pineapple with the advanced radio frequency manipulation capabilities of the HackRF One. You will not only learn the tools and techniques but also gain insight into modern WiFi protections like WPA3, PMF, and SAE — and how these can still be challenged through strategic jamming attacks.Whether you're an aspiring ethical hacker wanting to break into wireless security or a seasoned penetration tester seeking to expand your skill set into advanced RF-based attacks, this course gives you the knowledge, tools, and practical experience to test and secure wireless networks effectively.Get ready to master WiFi ethical hacking and take your cybersecurity skills to the next level — enroll today, and I will see you inside!
