    In today's digital age, the use of wireless technologies has transformed the way we connect. Every day, thousands of people access the network through devices such as smartphones and laptops. However, with this increase in connectivity, cybercriminals are looking to exploit vulnerabilities to access sensitive data, compromise privacy and, in extreme cases, carry out broader attacks, both commercially and domestically. This research project aims to find vulnerabilities by penetration testing the Wi Fi network of the Pelileo Educational Unit for threat analysis, assessing the reliability, integrity and accessibility of the information and network. During the development, in the evaluation phase following the ISSAF methodology, controlled intrusion tests such as brute force attack, Evil Twin attack, denial of service and Man-in-the-Middle are performed. Specific OWISAM security controls are applied and Open Source tools such as Aircrack-ng and Ettercap, essential for the execution of these tests, are selected. The results obtained from these evaluations provide the network security status. In summary, this work stands out for its practical approach, applying intrusion attacks by determining weaknesses affecting the Wi-Fi network in an educational context. The proposal contributes to the field of cybersecurity by providing a specific methodology to analyze and strengthen wireless networks in similar environments.
