802.11 Security shows readers how to secure 802.11-based wireless networks, particularly the 802.11b specification. Detailed coverage includes security issues unique to wireless networking, such as Wireless Access Points (WAP), bandwidth stealing, and the problematic Wired Equivalent Privacy component of 802.11. Readers will learn how to configure a wireless client and to set up a WAP using either Linux or FreeBSD. Controlling network access and encrypting client traffic are also covered thoroughly.
