Read the airspace.Cap the corporate VLAN.

Wireless work isn't a Wi-Fi scan. SecureLayer7 walks the airspace by hand, deauths the client, captures the 4-way handshake, cracks PMKID offline, stands a same-SSID evil twin, harvests PEAP without a server cert, walks WPS PIN, and lands on the corporate VLAN. Every finding ships with the captured handshake, the PSK, and the controller / RADIUS / NAC config diff your team can deploy.

Four wireless surfaces, Wi-Fi 802.11, 802.1X / EAP, Rogue / Evil Twin (highlighted), Captive / BYOD, converging on a proof-of-exploit card showing a captured 4-way handshake, an offline PMKID crack, and a VLAN escape into the corporate broadcast domain.

Four surfaces

802.11 · 802.1X / EAP · Rogue / Evil Twin · Captive / BYOD, one engagement, the whole airspace.

Captured evidence

EAPOL handshake, cracked PSK, PEAP relay credential, evil-twin client, not a screenshot of a scanner.

Re-test included

We verify your fixes, controller config, RADIUS profile, MFP, NAC, at no extra cost.

Why now

The window from vulnerability discovery to exploitation has gone from weeks to hours.

What we test —

The whole airspace. Not just the SSID list.

Each layer of your wireless estate is reviewed by hand against its real attack surface — corporate Wi-Fi, 802.1X / RADIUS, the rogue-AP boundary, and the BYOD / guest edge. Intensity tunes per scope.

802.11 — WPA2 / WPA3 / WPS

PMKID capture via hcxdumptool, 4-way handshake collection under deauth, offline crack with hashcat, WPS PIN brute force (Pixie Dust), WPA3 SAE downgrade (Dragonblood), MFP / 802.11w not enforced, PMF-not-required client trap.

802.1X — EAP-TLS / PEAP / EAP-MSCHAPv2

Server-cert validation off on clients, PEAP outer-tunnel bypass, EAP-MSCHAPv2 cleartext relay, EAP-TLS cert-pinning gaps, RADIUS shared-secret re-use across SSIDs, MAC-RADIUS bypass, NPS / FreeRADIUS misconfig.

Rogue AP — Evil Twin / KARMA / Deauth

Same-SSID rogue stood up with hostapd-mana, broadcast-PROBE-RESPONSE KARMA, captive-portal harvest of corporate creds, MAC randomization detection bypass, Wireless IDS / WIPS evasion, deauth flood under MFP-off.

Captive / BYOD — Guest VLAN / NAC / MDM

Captive-portal UAM bypass, guest-to-corporate VLAN escape via DHCP / IPv6 abuse, NAC posture-check bypass, MDM-issued client cert lift, BYOD MAC-allowlist spoof, Wi-Fi Direct lateral pivot, hidden-SSID probe-leak reveal.

Why a Wi-Fi scan misses the airspace

An SSID list is not a captured handshake.

A scanner reports SSIDs, signal strength, encryption mode, and stops there. SecureLayer7's operators take it further. A deauth flood under MFP-off rips the next client off the AP, the 4-way handshake lands on the wire, and the PMKID cracks against your corporate wordlist offline. A same-SSID evil twin with a self-signed cert catches the laptop whose 802.1X profile skipped server-cert validation and replays PEAP-MSCHAPv2 to your real RADIUS server. A hidden SSID gives itself away the moment a roaming client probes for it. Every finding ships with the captured handshake, the relayed credential, and the controller / RADIUS / NAC config diff your team can deploy.

Two columns, scanner findings on the left (MFP not enforced, PEAP without server cert, hidden SSID + MAC ACL on), the chained airspace exploit each becomes on the right (deauth + PMKID + offline crack, evil twin + PEAP harvest, probe leak + KARMA client trap).

The airspace techniques that turn a scanner ping into a foothold.

  1. 01
    PMKID offline crack

    Capture a single PMKID frame from the AP with hcxdumptool, crack the WPA2 PSK offline with hashcat on rented GPUs.

  2. 02
    PEAP credential harvest

    Stand up an evil-twin RADIUS with hostapd-wpe, downgrade clients without proper CA pinning, collect MSCHAPv2 challenges.

  3. 03
    802.11w MFP bypass

    Find APs that signal MFP-capable but allow legacy clients, deauth with KARMA-style frames to force re-association onto rogue SSIDs.

  4. 04
    Captive portal to corp VLAN

    Escape the BYOD captive portal via ICMP tunneling or DNS rebinding, reach segments that trust the wireless source IP range.

  5. 05
    Sub-GHz protocol replay

    Record proprietary 433 or 868 MHz traffic with an RTL-SDR, demodulate with Universal Radio Hacker, replay sensor or door commands.

WIRELESS METHODOLOGY.

Eight phases. Discover to re-test.

Threat-modelled to your SSIDs, RADIUS topology, controller fleet, and BYOD posture. Not a checklist run against every airspace.

01

Scope & threat-model

In-scope SSIDs, BSSID list, building or floor coverage, RADIUS or NPS topology, controller fleet, and call-out windows agreed in writing. Out-of-scope guest tenants and partner SSIDs recorded.

02

RF survey & discovery

Walk-through capture with directional and omni antennas. Hidden SSID reveal via probe-leak. WPS-enabled APs flagged. Channel plus 5 GHz and 6 GHz coverage mapped. Rogue or unmanaged APs detected and reported separately.

03

Handshake & PSK capture

4-way EAPOL collection under controlled deauth on PSK SSIDs. PMKID capture via hcxdumptool where AP firmware permits. Offline crack against the corporate wordlist with hashcat (-m 22000).

04

802.1X exploitation

Server-cert validation tested on a representative client fleet. eaphammer evil-twin run for PEAP or EAP-TTLS credential harvest. RADIUS shared-secret re-use checked across SSIDs. NPS or FreeRADIUS access policy reviewed for MAC-RADIUS bypass.

05

Evil-twin exploitation

Same-SSID rogue stood up with hostapd-mana. KARMA broadcast-PROBE-RESPONSE engaged for client trap. WIPS and Wireless IDS reaction time measured. MFP and 802.11w enforcement tested under deauth flood.

06

Captive & NAC pivot

Captive-portal UAM bypass. Guest VLAN escape via DHCP option or IPv6 RA abuse. NAC posture-check bypass via MAC plus cert spoof. MDM-issued client-cert lift where the device permits. Wi-Fi Direct lateral movement.

07

Remediation guidance

Cisco WLC, Aruba MM, or Meraki dashboard config snippets; NPS or FreeRADIUS access-policy diffs; controller MFP or PMF enforcement; NAC posture rules; BYOD onboarding tightening. Written for wireless engineers, not auditors.

08

Patch verification

Every finding re-tested after your team ships the fix (controller config push, RADIUS profile change, NAC rule update, AP firmware bump) at no extra cost. Written confirmation each path is closed.
