Summary: It is not the Music. . . . . .
Review: You don't know me. So you are not supposed to trust me blindly.However, after years in this (security) area, let me share a thought with you: It is not the music, but who and how is playing it that matters. This is a superb book, as excellent as the well known experience of the writers. I recently hired three security pros. with not previous knowledge in wireless security. I gave them just one weapon: This Book. After just a week in their first wireless scenario, were able to detect and correctly react to several related security incidents. Don't let other reviews fool you. This is an outstanding book. If this is your area of interest believe me and buy it. If then you think I was wrong. . . well don't trust any more in my reviews (bet it won't happen).

Summary: As secure as it can be
Review: You've got one, I've got one, we've all got one. Wired networks have become so passe` now that wireless networks are everywhere. The one characteristic of most wireless networks is the lack of security. Enter O'Reilly's 802.11 Security. Potter and Fleck have written this little book as a no-nonsense guide to understanding the problem of wireless networking security. They also do an excellent job demonstrating how to implement solutions that are quick, simple and actually work. Overall, I would have to say that this book is a gold mine for anyone running an 802.11 network. It has helped me figure out how to implement wireless networking at home thus minimizing security risks. As usual the book is very easy reading and it's written in a very easy-going style giving the necessary background before launching into any detailed discussions. I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering or using a wireless network. Even though given enough time my wireless network could be sniffed out, I feel much better having a better understanding of how important securing my wireless network is and knowing that I've done what I can to prevent unauthorized use.
