When Connectivity Becomes the Attack Surface
Modern devices depend on wireless and radio technologies for control, data exchange, and operational continuity. These communication channels also represent some of the most exposed and frequently targeted attack surfaces. Wireless, Radio, & Connectivity Testing evaluates how devices communicate, how those communications can be abused, and whether existing protections are sufficient to withstand real‑world threat scenarios.
At Device Recon Labs, we simulate adversarial attacks against wireless and RF‑based interfaces to uncover vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access, data leakage, command injection, denial of service, or system manipulation—especially in safety‑critical and regulated environments.
What We Test
We assess a broad range of commercial, industrial, medical, and proprietary wireless technologies, including:
- Bluetooth & Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
- Wi‑Fi (802.11)
- Near‑Field Communication (NFC)
- RFID (active and passive)
- Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band protocols
- MICS, MedRadio, and WMTS (for medical and life‑sustaining devices)
- Proprietary and custom RF protocols
- Cellular connectivity (LTE, LTE‑M, NB‑IoT, 5G)
Testing includes both the device radio stack and the end‑to‑end communication path, from device firmware through applications, gateways, APIs, cloud services, and backend infrastructure.
Why Wireless & RF Security Matters
Wireless interfaces expand usability—but also eliminate physical boundaries. Poorly secured radio communications can enable attackers to:
- Intercept or manipulate commands and telemetry
- Bypass authentication or pairing mechanisms
- Inject malicious traffic or firmware
- Track device presence or user activity
- Disrupt availability through jamming or protocol abuse
For medical devices, transportation systems, logistics platforms, and critical infrastructure, these failures can move quickly from cybersecurity incidents to safety, reliability, and regulatory risks.
Safety‑Aware and Regulation‑Aware Execution
Wireless testing in regulated or operational environments requires discipline and precision. We design engagements to:
- Avoid unintended service disruption
- Respect clinical, operational, and safety boundaries
- Align with FDA, transportation, and critical‑infrastructure cybersecurity expectations
- Generate defensible, audit‑ready evidence
