Eric Huber @ 2011-01-07  Masterful

This book is a fabulous way to either introduce yourself to the world of wireless security or to sharpen your edge if you are already working in this area. The authors do a fine job of offering up a broad, but reasonably comprehensive view of the wireless security world ranging from frequently encountered technologies such as 802.11 to more exotic technologies such as ZigBee (a low powered, but high battery endurance wireless protocol used in products such as security systems and lighting controls). I had never even heard of ZigBee until I read this book, but now I understand it from a general technical perspective as well as a security perspective.

The authors follow a consistent template for each technology they discuss. They provide a detailed, but approachable overview of the technology and then explore the technology from both an offensive and defensive point of view. The authors have successfully struck a balance between explaining wireless security in an approachable manner and providing detailed hands on examples of interacting with a wide variety of tools. This makes the book a good resource for someone who might only be interested in wireless security from a high level such as an information security manager. However, it also makes the book a valuable resource for the practitioner who wishes to learn wireless security in a more hands on manner.

As an added bonus, the book includes a foreward by Ed Skoudis where Ed reveals that he has the soul of an electrical engineer. He further explains he was partially led to this discovery by a picture of Nikola Tesla shooting lighting-bolts out of his eyes. How can you pass up reading that?

Devin Akin "Devinato @ 2011-01-29  The Reference Book

If you haven't been in Wi-Fi since forever, then this book will bring you up-to-speed on the last 8 years of hacking Wi-Fi. This is the reference book you'll want to keep handy. What I particularly like about it is that it doesn't talk "about" hacking Wi-Fi, it actually shows you how to do it...effectively. Everything is step-by-step with explanations. Even for someone who has been in the field for a very long time, this book has much to offer in the way of reference material. There are so many tools and steps to hacking Wi-Fi (in any given situation) that it's hard to keep it all mentally straight. This book does that for you. Additionally, this book does a fantastic job of exposing programmer/developer secrets that a support or systems engineer just wouldn't know or consider. All-in-all, I would rank this book among the best, if not THE best, book of its type on the market. These guys have really done a superb job.

A masterful manual written by masters of their selected subject. Read this book, learn useful stuff. It is as simple as that.

lupus @ 2011-08-02  Excellent overview

I m not a hacker, not even a script kiddy man, just a sysadmin wich has to cope with the desirata and problems of a huge administration with too little or too late formation.
And i m also a father of several teens withe several pc and security problems.

This book show me what i need most : a roadmap of the different problems , risks and tools in wifi world . With this organised knowledge i will much better be able to cope with daily activities :

What tools i need at work ?
What tools i need at home ?
For bothh what tests and verifications should i complete regularly ?
