Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Step into the cutting-edge world of wireless ethical hacking and learn how to test and secure Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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. This course provides a real-world, hands-on approach to Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi protections such as 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.
