OffSec Wireless Professional (OSWP)

Becoming OSWP certified - 4-hour proctored: All exams are proctored by an OffSec employee in a private VPN - Hands-on labs: Identify, exploit, and report real-world vulnerabilities in live lab systems - 3 network scenarios: Obtain the wireless key in each scenario. Only one scenario can work at a time - Connect to the target Access Point (AP): Gain a proof file from the http://192.168.1.1/proof.txt PEN-210 (Wireless Attacks) introduces the foundations of wireless network security, exploring common vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques. The course prepares learners in skills related to different types and architectures of Wi-Fi networks, wireless reconnaissance, and exploiting vulnerabilities in WPS. PEN-210 teaches a range of wireless attack skills throughout the course, including: - Utilizing mac80211, the wireless framework included in all modern Linux kernels under which most common functions are standardized - Using Aircrack-ng, a suite of tools for wireless security assessment, including capturing packets, cracking passwords, and deauthenticating clients - Creating a rogue AP and look for devices trying to connect to a legitimate AP with the same name - Determining the chipset and driver for a Wi-Fi adapter, even if you can't physically access the hardware itself - Capturing and decoding raw wireless frames with Kismet to identify access points and devices on the network PEN-210 is constructed of 16 content modules, many with videos to assist learners in following along with the text. Upon completing PEN-210, learners will have mastered wireless security risk methodologies. Passing the accompanying exam to earn the OffSec Wireless Professional (OSWP) certification demonstrates a learner’s ability to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in 802.11 networks. PEN-210 is ideal for penetration testers and security professionals seeking to expand their skill set to include wireless security policies and assessments. It has no formal prerequisites, though it’s strongly recommended that you have experience using the Linux command line, a solid understanding of TCP/IP networking, basic knowledge of wireless networking concepts (e.g., 802.11 protocols, encryption), and some familiarity with the standard skills of penetration testing.
