How to Practice Wireless Hacking for CEH Certification?

Introduction

Wireless networks are everywhere — offices, cafes, homes, IoT devices. CEH v13 increased wireless weightage because real attackers love Wi-Fi attacks (evil twin, handshake capture, WPS flaws). You will get 10–12 theory questions and 2–4 practical flags from wireless module. At Ethical Hacking Training Institute we give every student 50+ real Wi-Fi routers (TP-Link, D-Link, Netgear) with different encryption types so you practice exactly like the real exam from day 1.

Top 8 Wireless Attacks You Must Master for CEH

Practice Wi-Fi attacks daily.

Step 1: Set Up Monitor Mode & Packet Injection

• Compatible Wi-Fi adapter (Alfa AWUS036ACH)
• airmon-ng start wlan0 → mon0
• airodump-ng mon0 -c 6 -w capture
• aireplay-ng --test mon0 → check injection
• Our cloud lab gives pre-configured monitor mode Kali
• No hardware needed — works on any laptop

Step 2: WPA2 Handshake Capture & Cracking

Capture 4-way handshake with airodump-ng, force deauth with aireplay-ng, save .cap file, crack offline with aircrack-ng -w rockyou.txt capture.cap or Hashcat. Our lab has 30+ WPA2 networks with weak passwords so you capture and crack handshakes in under 5 minutes every day.

Step 3: Evil Twin & Fake AP Attack

• hostapd + dnsmasq → create fake AP
• Deauth clients with aireplay-ng
• Capture credentials on fake login page
• Use Fluxion or Wifiphisher for automation
• Our lab has 20+ real routers for live evil twin

Perform evil twin attacks.

Step 4: WPS PIN Brute Force & Reaver

Most routers still have WPS enabled. Use wash -i mon0 to find WPS networks, then reaver -i mon0 -b BSSID -vv or bully for faster attack. Average crack time 2–8 hours. We provide 25+ WPS-enabled routers for practice.

Step 5: KRACK, PMKID & Modern Attacks

• KRACK → replay attack on WPA2
• PMKID capture → no client needed
• hcxdumptool + hcxpcapngtool → PMKID capture
• Hashcat -m 16800 → crack PMKID
• Our lab has vulnerable WPA2 routers

Step 6: Prevention & Secure Configuration

• Disable WPS
• Use WPA3
• Strong 20+ char passphrase
• MAC filtering + hidden SSID (limited)
• Enterprise WPA2-EAP
