Unlike PWB/CTP, there isn't a remote lab this time to connect into – you will be re-creating the labs locally. The exercises were straight forward, and I didn't run into any issues completing them (I used an old NetGear WG614 v9 & TP-Link WR104ND for access points and ALFA AWUS036H & Linksys WUSB54GC wireless cards). I personally was able to progress through the entire course material in a weekend.

There is also a custom Backtrack ISO file, which is what the course recommends you use. CAP files that Offsec is hosting, allowing you to follow alongside. In the handbook, there are links to external example. The course material is made up of a handbook/document (.PDF – 385 pages), and videos (.SWF – little under 3 and a half hours). Course Material Course Materials & Lab/Exam Setup They have done their homework including getting the author (Mister_X) of _THE_ pentesting tool for 802.11, aircrack-ng, to help write the course. There are also conflicting bits of information online (either because it's out-dated or it's 'the blind leading the blind').Īs always, with an Offsec course, all the information that you need is in one place.

But, I spent time doing it, as I had to go out searching for it (which made it easier to skip over certain areas, if you didn't seek them out). Yes, I was able to learn, and teach myself for free. However, I still learnt more than a thing or two by the time I had completed the course.Įverything that I knew before the course, was self taught, which came from reading blog/forum postings, and the odd video (There are plenty of resources – and they range in quality, depth of detail and age). Both are good, if not great sources of knowledge that make them a valued resource, however, there is still room for WiFu - more on this later.īefore doing the course, I had already dabbled with 802.11 and its security, successfully cracking some WEP & WPA networks, and writing my own 'wrapper' to automate the process. It's not easy to create a course, especially with the amount of resources that are freely available, such as the aircrack-ng wiki and Security Tube's Wireless Megaprimer. What's wrong with the resources that are out there currently?.So why do this course? What's the point in doing this, I know how to crack/hack WPA.
