Wireless testing Architecture Patterns
RCCE students will learn wireless penetration testing methodologies including wireless reconnaissance, network discovery, encryption cracking, client-side attacks, and post-exploitation in wireless environments. RCCE students will learn to use tools for wireless scanning and enumeration, capture WPA handshakes, perform dictionary and brute-force attacks against wireless credentials, execute man-in-the-middle attacks on wireless networks, test captive portal security, assess Bluetooth and IoT wireless protocol security, and document wireless vulnerability findings in professional penetration test reports. This architecture course teaches secure system design using proven patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to evaluate design options against security requirements, make informed trade-off decisions, and build systems that are resilient by design. Students gain the architectural thinking skills needed for security engineering and solution design roles.
