Free Real 802.11 Security: Wi-Fi Protected Access and 802.11i
This is a very advanced book, not for the meek at heart. Exceptionally well written with five pages of references, three pages of acronyms and three appendices: AES encryption / block cipher, message modification and file integrity. The authors spare no details about wireless security, yet are still able to make thing easy to understand. Written from an engineering standpoint with emphasis on design and construction of wireless networks, Real 802.11 Security gets down to the nuts and bolts of how wireless works, the current standards now in use and the design implications of the newest standards in development.Edney and Arbaugh show just how "loose" current wireless systems really are, their vulnerabilities and the most common attack methods used, including man in the middle, WEP cracking and MAC spoofing. They detail the layers of transmittion and how those layers interact in the most common wireless scenarios. They also define the terms and uses of current wireless security including the latest methods under development.
The authors start by making sense of the alphabet soup of wireless security including WEP, RSN, 802.1x, LEAP, PEAP and Radius. They dig down to the actual tools and processes used to hack wireless networks and give excellent summaries of the most commonly used methods. Their examples detail the uses of headers, their encryption and the algorithms used by each security protocol. They then show how each protocol is broken down, how server and client interact and the security holes present.
After a good overview of the current landscape, Edney and Arbaugh go on to show the reader how each protocol stacks up against one another, thus allowing the reader greater flexibility to decide just which type or types of security maybe right for their wireless environment(s).
