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 behavior. Several operating system distributions like Kali Linux, pentoo are taken to the penetration testing. These systems require highly skilled technical users. Our approach is to convert these into a complete automated tool which eliminates manual effort and provides a complete solution for assessing Wi-Fi security. The proposed automated tool is implemented as a mobile application it would provide a handy Wi-Fi analysis and penetration suite mobile application which aims to be the most complete and advanced toolkit for IT security experts to perform network security assessments on from a mobile device. Issues and challenges related to the proposed mobile app have been discussed in this paper.
