The use of wireless network as a medium of communication has tremendously increased due to its flexibility, mobility and easy accessibility. Its usage is inevitable at hotels and restaurants, airports, organizations and currently predominant in homes. As large number of devices connect to wireless network, valuable and sensitive information are shared among users in the open air, attackers can easily sniff and capture data packets. This paper aims at using penetration testing to assess
