Its a good book, but youd probably be well off reading 'wireless networks for dummies' first to get a better understanding of the wireless networks discussed in that book.

Once you're done with for dummies, give these a read:

Ive got a few lined up in my queue to read, syngress books (with one exception, but then the book was aimed well below me) have always really impressed me.

Havent read the For Dummies wireless network but I did read the hacking. It had a lot of nice info, however not as much as I would have thought on actual hacking. And barely anything on WPA. It was already really repetitive sad.gif

Well, what about 'free' info. I need some of that! Can I get a wut-wut?.... No? ok, whatever...
But, seriously any links to 'free' info on that would be greatly appreciated.

I actually did check google. I just don't really going through the rest of the pages after about the first 5. So, I'll check out bittorrent. Thanks. Any other places you know of (that work, and are free) please pm me. Actually anything (free) about wireless networks or wardriving, please pm me their location, if that's cool.


Edit: I found it, but what exactly do I open it with? Please help? As in the torrent files. Pm me with the answer please.

That wireless hacking for dummies was quite possibly one of the WORST books I've ever read in my life. It spent almost 90% of the book talking about conventional hacking methods. I mean, it starts by going into port scanning and packet sniffing! That's not wireless security, that's network security. It repeats everything it says AT LEAST 5 or 6 times. It doesn't even get to cracking WEP until page 200-something. A lot of the facts in that book are just plain WRONG. Don't waste your time with that book.

...For Dummies


Not for experienced hackers. The rest of us are just supposed to sift through it and find the good parts.
