we can start as a beginnes from the beginning because this book is great. It offers a broad introduction to 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and DECT theory, as well as scanning, enumeration, and exploitation techniques. Additionally, also he learn to exploit weaknesses in wireless network environments using the innovative techniques in this thoroughly updated guide. Inside, you’ll find concise technical overviews, the latest attack methods, and ready-to-deploy countermeasures. Find out how to leverage wireless eavesdropping, break encryption systems, deliver remote exploits, and manipulate 802.11 clients, and learn how attackers impersonate cellular networks.

the main target is the effectiveness of perimeter defenses because most enterprises depend heavily on firewall technologies for risk mitigation. So this book addresses those risks and
walks the readers through wireless security fundamentals, attack methods, and remediation tactics in an easy-to-read format with real-world case studies. Never has it been so important for the industry to get their arms around wireless security, and this book is a great way to do that.

When you finish reading the book you’ll be able to do your job better and make your workplace (and home) more secure.
But I must confess—it is rather unlikely that reading this book will enable you to shoot lightning bolts out of your eyeballs. But it will provide you with a great understanding of the wireless world, which you can directly apply to improving the security of your home and business networks.
In Hacking Exposed Wireless, Johnny Cache, Joshua Wright, and Vincent Liu have written
a guidebook explaining it all and telling us how to tackle this vast playground. They provide awesome coverage of wireless protocols, access points, client software, supporting infrastructure, and everything in between, and step-by-step directions for manipulating this technology.
In other words, you need to know this stuff for your job today. This book brings together the wireless world with detailed descriptions of the underlying technologies, protocols, and systems that make it all work, with real-world recommendations for finding and fixing flaws that every security professional must know.

The layout makes this easy to read and the explanations are easy to understand. It covers wifi and bluetooth, but also goes into protocols like Zigbee and DECT, which require further hardware investments.

You'll get a good general idea of the wireless arena, but the book is not always clear about the function of every command line switch being used. You may have to go online to troubleshoot when the provided examples don't work.

I thought it was great. Inspired me to learn more about pen testing and install the Kali distribution on my notebook. As somebody who hadn't ever thought about how exposed I was in a coffeeshop or public library, I enjoyed the read quite a bit. I got the feeling, however, that if large parts of the book aren't over your head, there are probably better resources for you online.
