The
Wireless Networking Starter Kit
Once authors Adam C. Engst and Glenn Fleishman discovered that the
freedom of a wireless network meant they could access the Internet from
bed, the living room, the coffee house down the street, most major
airports, and even some city parks, there was no going back to the days of
clumsy wired networks. Now they're here to share their knowledge in the
new book The Wireless Networking Starter Kit Whether you're a Mac or PC
user, if you're ready to embrace the freedom of wireless, this is the
place to start.

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.
