Book : Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing

Book : Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing by Vivek Ramachandran

This book will provide a highly technical and in-depth treatment of Wi-Fi security. The emphasis will be to provide the readers with a deep understanding of the principles behind various attacks and not just a quick how-to guide on publicly available tools. We will start our journey with the very basics by dissecting WLAN packet headers with Wireshark, then graduate to the next level by cracking WEP, WPA/WPA2 and then move on to real life challenges like orchestrating Man-in-the-Middle attacks, creating Wi-Fi Honeypots and compromise networks running WPA-Enterprise mechanisms such as PEAP and EAP-TTLS.

Even though touted as a Beginner's Guide, this book has something for everyone - from the kiddies to the Ninjas. You can purchase the book from:
