Penetration Testing of Wireless Networks


Wireless LAN Security using Penetration Testing: Research Questionnaire
This questionnaire is being carried out as a part of MSc research project on Security in wireless networks using penetration testing. This research is an effort to improve penetration testing process on Wireless networks for organizations that provide Security services to other companies. The Questionnaire is to be filled by security professional having experience in penetration testing. Please answer the questions using the previous experiences in penetration testing different networks. Please let me assure you that data will be used for research purposes only and any identifiable information will be kept confidential. Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions regarding this survey.
