SEC617: Wireless Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking - Live Online
Wireless is the one attack surface that ignores the badge reader. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, and a long tail of proprietary radio protocols run through executive floors, production lines, data center doors, and payment terminals, and most security programs treat all of it as somebody else's problem.
SEC617 makes it yours. Six days of live, virtual instruction on assessing and exploiting the full wireless spectrum, taught by working penetration testers. You receive the SANS Wireless Assessment Toolkit, a hardware and software kit built for this work, so the skills transfer to your own engagements the following week.
During the Week, You'll Work Through:
- 20 hands-on labs
- A Capture the Flag event spanning Wi-Fi, proprietary signals, and smart cards
- 802.11 packet analysis, monitor mode work, and rogue AP identification
- WPA2 pre-shared key, WPA2 Enterprise, and WPA3 attack exercises
- Bluetooth Classic and BLE attacks, plus practical software-defined radio application
- Low-frequency and high-frequency RFID tag decoding, analysis, and attack
What Comes in the Box
The SWAT kit includes a high-powered Wi-Fi card, a long-range Bluetooth adapter, RFID read/write hardware, a software-defined radio receiver, and a customized Linux environment. It ships ahead of class, so hardware compatibility is not something you troubleshoot on day one. 36 CPE credits, aligned to the GIAC Assessing and Auditing Wireless Networks (GAWN) certification.
Who Should Take This Course?
Penetration testers and ethical hackers, network security staff, incident response teams, technical auditors, security consultants, and wireless or embedded system engineers who need to evaluate what they build.
