This was part of my presentation during the WLPC 2026 in Phoenix towards the end. I have been working on this for a while and learning a lot during the process. Idea behind this is to be able to validate as many items from the checklists created by Keith Parsons located here and do it remotely.
Hoping to have multi vendor support depending on the hardware and API access. No information is getting stored so once you reload or reset, it is all gone. NOTE: I do advise you to rotate your keys and/or use read only keys if possible. Use this tool at your own risk.
This tool uses multiple data sources but you can choose which ones you want to use. Any test dependent on a data source that you do not pick will simply not be run.
Wyebot requires an active Wyebot subscription and tests created. I mainly use this in testing for client connectivity testing. I simply had to create one DNS test that provided me with all the information I needed.
Tool requires a user to choose a site and an SSID they want to focus on.
And here are the results. Based on the pass and failures there is also an overall score.
If there are non-compliant access points that information is available as well.
So far I have been able to add 24 tests, it is a work in progress and I’m looking forward to adding more features and functionality to it including data sources and vendors. If you have not tried it, give it a try and let me know what do you think?
