Wireless testing for Beginners
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. Designed for students with no prior experience in this area, this course builds knowledge from the ground up with clear explanations, guided demonstrations, and progressive skill-building. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn core concepts through practical examples that connect theory to real-world security operations. By completion, students will have the foundational knowledge and hands-on confidence needed to contribute in professional cybersecurity roles.
