This is a really great book, it does a great job of spelling things out for you if your a novice like myself and a curious one at that this book makes things really really easy, and that might not be a good thing. Try your best not to get yourself into to much trouble, which is about as high on the list of wishful thoughts that I could muster with this book in my hands.

This book is 1 of the amazing book which i have read until now, it has taught me how to master the air, the content and examples are very much understandable for a beginner like me, if anyone 1 wants to start learning about wifi hacking then this book is best obvious because the author is Vivek ramachandran.

This is a great book, all about pen testing and understanding what is happening on your network. If you're interested in computing and hacking and pen testing and what other people might be able to see of YOUR traffic, this is a good book to read...

the book is good for beginners to start with Wifi hacking, but the book focus to show the How-to use command than explain what is going on behind the seen,you need WLAN protocol background, but this book is great.

Very good beginner guide.

Hands on, great info.

Easy read - very short, due to the extensive use of screenshots.

Recommended for interested in intro to aircrack-ng suite on Kali; and for some high level wifi security fundamentals.

I loved it. Very good for beginners to start with Wifi hacking. You need a background about the WLAN protocol + some skills in Linux.
