THE BEST GUIDE TO DESIGNING AND BUILDING Wi-Fi
The rapid evolution of the networking industry
introduces new exciting challenges that need to be explored by the
research community. The adoption of Internet as the global network
infrastructure places the issue of quality of service among one of the
hot topics nowadays: a huge diversity of applications with quite
different service requirements must be supported over a basic core of
protocols. Also, the open and uncontrolled nature of Internet enforces
the need to guarantee secure transactions among users, thus placing
security as another hot topic. Finally, the explosion of mobility and
its integration as part of the global infrastructure are probably now
the most challenging issues in the networking field.
Maximum Wireless Security
is a practical handbook that reveals the techniques and tools crackers
use to break into wireless networks, and that details the steps network
administrators need to take to secure their systems.
The
authors provide information to satisfy the expert's hunger for in-depth
information with actual source code, real-world case studies, and
step-by-step configuration recipes.
The book
includes detailed, hands-on information that is currently unavailable
in any printed text-information that has been gleaned from the authors'
work with real wireless hackers ("war drivers"), wireless security
developers, and leading security experts.
