Wi-Foo
There are plenty of wireless security books. This one’s seriously
“hands-on.” It was written by the leaders of one of the world’s top
wireless security auditing teams. Penetration testing is crucial to
protecting yourself, and this book is the source for mastering it. But it
doesn’t just show you how to attack 802.11 networks -- it shows how to
detect and defeat those attacks, too. First, you’ll assemble the arsenal
needed to probe wireless network security: hardware, drivers, utilities,
network mapping and site surveying tools, and so forth. The authors offer
knowledgeable advice on cards, chipsets, antennas, amplifiers, cables,
connectors, Linux drivers and wireless extensions, and of course software
tools.

Wireless Home
Networking for Dummies
Why do you want a wireless network? To share files, printers, and
broadband Internet connections without tripping over wires? To set up a
housewide music (or maybe even video) server? For multiplayer gaming? Or
maybe you want to run a "home cam" that’ll always show you
what’s going on downstairs? Whatever the reason, wireless networks are
now practical for just about everyone. But they’re not yet idiot-proof.
It’s still possible to buy the wrong stuff, and/or fail to get it
working right, and/or transmit your data where it oughtn’t go. Do it
right the first time, without getting deluged in jargon or technotrivia.
Read Wireless Home Networking for Dummies.

802.11
Security
Wireless networks have opened up new possibilities for all types of
users. From typical LAN environments to wireless ISPs to ad-hoc
networking, 802.11, the most popular wireless LAN protocol, is changing
the way we think about networking. Wireless networks provide new security
challenges for users and network administrators alike. The lack of
physical security, access to free auditing tools that double as attack
tools, and the ability to monitor traffic without risk of being noticed
make wireless networks an easy target for malicious users.

he were in front of your computer. Are you using an 802.11 or Bluetooth
device on your computer? Are you using a PDA to communicate with other
