Course Overview

Offensive Security Wireless Attacks (WiFu) introduces students to the skills needed to audit and secure wireless devices. It’s for penetration testers who have completed PWK and would like to gain more skill in network security.

In WiFu, students will learn to identify vulnerabilities in 802.11 networks and execute organized attacks. Each student will set up a home lab to practice the techniques learned in this online, self-paced course.

Successful completion of the course and exam confers the Offensive Security Wireless Professional (OSWP) certification.

Timer

Course includes a 4-hour exam.

Hacker

Learn wireless network security.

Labs

Gain access to a virtual penetration testing lab.

OSWP Cert

Earn your OSWP certification.

Certification Process

Once you’ve completed WiFu and practiced in your dedicated personal lab, you’re ready to take the online certification exam.

The OSWP exam has a 4-hour time limit and requires you to connect to our dedicated lab via SSH. You’ll encounter several wireless networks of varying configurations, conduct wireless information gathering, and implement various attacks to get access to the target networks.

As part of the exam, you must submit a comprehensive penetration test report. It should contain in-depth notes and screenshots detailing your findings, including the steps to crack each network.

Real-world Benefits

Successful completion of the exam confers the Offensive Security Wireless Professional (OSWP) certification.

OSWPs are able to identify existing encryptions and vulnerabilities in 802.11 networks. They can circumvent network security restrictions and recover the encryption keys in use. The 4-hour exam also demonstrates that OSWPs are able to perform under imposed time constraints.
