Hacking Exposed Wireless, Third Edition: Wireless Security Secrets & Solutions

I have been in the security and networking business for more than 15 years. Over the years I have been both on the technical and business side dealing with many aspects of security spanning reverse engineering, operational security, incident management, security product management and so on.I recently got interested in 802.15.4 (ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, etc.) and software defined radio (SDR) primarily from a security perspective. So I bought this book to have a practical guide on the matter. I have only processed the chapters that I was interested in but I can say I have been impressed. The authors are clearly very knowledgeable on the topic and they convey their message very well. I learned quite a lot.One caveat, this may not be for the complete beginner. Authors provide a 'simplicity' score for the attacks they describe (10 being the easiest, like using an already available tool to point and click; 1 being the most difficult like requiring you write a new exploit code yourself) so complete beginners may be able to find few attack concepts that they can try. But overall the book assumes you are technical minded and have some technical background.With that in mind, highly recommended to anyone looking for an in-depth understanding of wireless security.

I have owned the previous two editions of this book, and as always the authors do not disappoint. This book will let anyone with basic linux knowledge understand the tools and techniques to hack wireless networks with ease. There is also a new chapter on Software Defined Radios which is a great primer into the subject.

Good read for those interested in the various wireless protocols. It is written in a way that makes it easily understandable and yet still covers the details well.

Was waiting for this third edition for a long time, it was worth the wait.Goes in depth into the various wireless technologies and their hacks, but also suggests effective countermeasures.A must read for wireless security hackers, penetration testers, etc.

Great book. Excellent condition. Nothing wrong with it. As stated, the book contains content. Pages are made of paper and assembled in order.

Great book and understanding of wireless Device. Used it during two different type of wireless assessment. This is becoming my to go book for answering customers questions.

Josh is an author I can trust to provide valuable insight and accuracy in his writings. This book is a valuable resource for anyone with a modern network that probably includes some wireless.

I found this book to be very detailed and informative on the subject. Chapter 14 on hacking Z wave Smart Homes was very interesting. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in wireless security.

Very good book and well written.
