Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 5 mb, 5 mb
Overview: Hacking Wireless Access Points: Cracking, Tracking, and Signal Jacking provides readers with a deeper understanding of the hacking threats that exist with mobile phones, laptops, routers, and navigation systemsFrom this book you’ve to see from a mobile, wireless perspective where these bad actors can find vulnerabilities and seek to take advantage. By looking at real-world attack scenarios, we can begin to think like them: What would attackers do? They have many tools and choices—as do we. We can operate our mobile devices more safely, we can navigate our wireless highways more thoughtfully, and we can purchase products more judiciously. We can use what we know and learn what we don’t already.
The first two chapters describe the general historical and technical background for wireless access points (WAPs): definitions, specifications, standards, and emerging trends. The third chapter looks at hacker motivations and different categories of attacks. The next chapters focus on different operational environments for WAPs: individual consumer (Chapter 4); commer-cial/industrial (Chapter 5); medical and health care (Chapter 6); civilian government (Chapter 7); non-civilian government for public safety, emergency management, and national security (Chapter 
. Chapters 4 through 7 include at least one actual attack scenario and a list of takeaways. Due to the greater caution taken with attack scenarios that occur within the non-civilian government environment, no attack scenario is outlined here. Chapter 9 summarizes observations and takeaways, and delivers a call to action and makes an appeal for the responsible use of technology. The Appendix contains a glossary of WAP-related terms and attack tree diagrams.
