Hacking Wireless Networks - The ultimate hands-on guide Paperback – 5 Mar. 2015

Very well written structured book. The simple instructions provided make hacking wi-fi look easy for anyone wishing to understand the methods used. Without too much technical jargon bogging things down, the book opens with explanations of the structure of wi-fi security in terms that even a novice can understand. It then continues to explain in step by step instructions, by using a simple home PC on how to gain access to some of the security data such as passwords, WPS keys etc. being passed over wf-fi networks.The author does state that the book is for educational purposes only and does carry occasional warnings to that affect. My only gripe is for such a recently published book, is that some of the links to the software downloads are slightly out of date and fail, although searching elsewhere and using different install methods can all be part of the learning curve.

Very well written. Even though I'm no longer a novice in the field, I learned some Fundamentals in this book. Simply written but manages to explain complex details very well.Physical quality of this paperback book is good.

Overall this book is excellent. Although the book could certainly use a proof reader, the grammar and spelling mistakes didn't impede comprehension at all.The background information, in particular the section on the structure of the frames, could have been written a bit more indepth, but nonetheless it gives you the correct terminology for your own research on the matter.There is a chapter on installing the tools, but you may as well just use Kali Linux as all the tools are pre-installed. All you need to do is download Kali ISO and either put it in a VirtualBox or make a bootable USB. Much simpler, and much more up to date.You will also need a network card that can be put into monitor mode, I recommend the ALFA AWUS036NEH; since it's a reasonable size and works with Kali linux out of the box.

This is one of the best books about wireless hacking. The book contains at the beginning only the necessary theory (and not hundreds of meaningless pages)and the rest is purely practical. The attacks are presented through scenarios with detailed steps and screenshots.Everything is explained so that the reader can understand the concept behind every attack. Great job!

Unfortunately most of the instructions for the software installations and downloads no longer work. If I’d realised how old the book was I would have looked for a more up to date one. It was probably a great book in 2015. But now not so much.

We live right on the edge of a zone that's supplied with fibre to premises connections, ours is fibre to cabinet and it's crap, barely gets above 15Mb, the snotty git that lives not far from us is always beefing about his 200Mb connection, well once I get my hands on this book i'll rip the bollocks out of his wifi security - then i'll have 200Mb as well, and he's so dense he won't even knowWUAHAHAHAHAHA

One of the few books where the examples actually work! Well written and thought through. A must buy.

Really nice book, teaches the fundamentals of WiFi hacking clearly. Some of the mentioned tools are a bit outdated but it gives you just enough info to go out there and find the right tools for yourself.Keep in mind if you intend to run a VM running on a windows host, you might have to buy a USB wifi adapter for monitoring mode.
