Wireless testing Troubleshooting: Basics
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 diagnostic course focuses on identifying, analyzing, and resolving common failures, misconfigurations, and operational issues. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn systematic troubleshooting methodologies that accelerate root-cause analysis and minimize downtime. Students work through realistic break-fix scenarios that build the diagnostic confidence needed for high-pressure production environments.
