Wi-Fi Network Pentest using Android Application

Wi-Fi is a local area wireless networking technology that is widely used for different purposes such as data transmission and wireless communication. Wi-Fi connection will most often result in faster, more reliable internet access and it is cheap. A penetration test on Wi-Fi is a proactive and authorized attempt to evaluate the security of an IT infrastructure by safely attempting to exploit system vulnerabilities, including OS, service and application flaws, improper configurations, and even risky end-user behaviour. Several operating system distributions like Kali Linux, pentoo are taken to the penetration testing. These systems require highly skilled technical users. In this paper, we are explaining methodology of combing all tools and methods and implementing them as a mobile application, making it feasible for anyone to do penetration testing of available Wi-Fi networks easily. The application will include test cases that are subjected to both an application and network layer penetration test. The advantage of this approach is android development requires minimal investment as Android provides freely its software development kit (SDK) to the developer which minimizes the development and licensing costs. Unlike other mobile platforms, Android application can be deployed in different ways. Usage of such systems eliminates need of having deep knowledge about networks and security aspects as it provides comparatively easy to use techniques but with the same effectiveness as of conventional tools.
