Course Summary

The GIAC Assessing and Auditing Wireless Networks (GAWN) certification is designed for technologists who need to assess the security of wireless networks. The certification focuses on the different security mechanisms for wireless networks; the tools and techniques used to evaluate and exploit weaknesses; and the techniques used to analyze wireless networks. Candidates will have an understanding of how the tools operate and the weaknesses in protocols that they evaluate.

Attacking weak encryption, 802.11 fuzzing attacks, and bluetooth attacks
Bridging the air gap, DoS on wireless networks, high-frequency RFID attacks, and RFID applications
Hotspots, low-frequency RFID attacks, NFC, practical SDR attacks, and rogue networks
Sniffing wireless, wireless basics, wireless client attacks, WPA, and Zigbee

802.11 Fuzzing Attacks
The candidate will be able to perform basic fuzzing attacks.
Attacking Weak Encryption
The candidate will be familiar with weak encryption methods including WEP and how to attack and secure them.
Bluetooth Attacks
The candidate will be familiar with the structure, uses and weaknesses of Bluetooth.
Bluetooth Low Energy Attacks
The candidate will demonstrate understanding of how changes to Bluetooth Low Energy affect security, and methods to test, inspect, and audit Bluetooth Low Energy data in transit.
Bridging the Air Gap
The candidate will be able to use a compromised wireless system to further compromise a wired network.
DoS on Wireless Networks
The candidate will be able to perform and defend against common DoS attacks.
High-Frequency RFID Attacks
The candidate will demonstrate understanding of RFID tracking techniques, and how to exploit mid to long-range RFID applications.
Hotspots
The candidate will be familiar with the identification and auditing of hotspots.
Low-Frequency RFID Attacks
The candidate will demonstrate understanding of short-range, Low Frequency (LF) RFID attacks, including impersonation and cloning of Low-Frequency RFID tags.
NFC
The candidate will demonstrate understanding of Near Field Communications (NFC) and how it uses consistent data protocols to exchange data bidirectionally for uses in payment systems, and generic data transfers.
Practical SDR Attacks
The candidate will be familiar with the common implementations of wireless protocols and how SDR projects can identify failures in the overall implementation of those protocols.
Rogue Networks
The candidate will understand how to identify and protect against rogue networks.
Sniffing Wireless
The candidate will be capable of capturing wireless traffic.
Wireless Basics
The candidate will be familiar with common wireless threats as well as current wireless network standards.
Wireless Client Attacks
The candidate will demonstrate understanding of wireless client vulnerabilities, including hotspot injection, weaknesses in wireless client segmentation or public secure packet forwarding, and the preferred network list on client systems.
WPA Variants
The candidate will be familiar with WPA Variants including how to attack and secure it.
Zigbee
The candidate will be familiar with Zigbee including how to attack and secure it.
