802.11 Security
Usually when I'm choosing reading material needed to get reviewed, I first check if we have some O'Reilly books laying on the shelf. Since the fine folks at O'Reilly supplied us with a number of great publications I chose this wireless title. Today, I'm taking a look at "802.11 Security", a neat little wireless security guide written by a two well known wireless experts. Bob Fleck is a security researcher and the Director of Methodology Development at Secure Software, Inc. He has been involved in wireless networking both through the Northern Virginia community wireless group and through commercial security research into the topology of wireless networks. His recent work includes investigation of layer two attacks against wireless networking devices.
Bruce Potter is the Manager of Network and Security Operations for VeriSign's Mass Market's division. He manages the security for over a hundred network devices and several hundred servers. He's the founder of the Shmoo Group a web site for security, cryptography, and privacy professionals, and NoVAWireless, a community-based wireless network project in Northern Virginia.
