The latest wireless security solutions
Protect your wireless systems from crippling attacks using the detailed security information in this comprehensive volume. Thoroughly updated to cover today's established and emerging wireless technologies, Hacking Exposed Wireless, second edition reveals how attackers use readily available and custom tools to target, infiltrate, and hijack vulnerable systems. This book discusses the latest developments in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and DECT hacking, and explains how to perform penetration tests, reinforce WPA protection schemes, mitigate packet injection risk, and lock down Bluetooth and RF devices. Cutting-edge techniques for exploiting Wi-Fi clients, WPA2, cordless phones, Bluetooth pairing, and ZigBee encryption are also covered in this fully revised guide.
- Build and configure your Wi-Fi attack arsenal with the best hardware and software tools
- Explore common weaknesses in WPA2 networks through the eyes of an attacker
- Leverage post-compromise remote client attacks on Windows 7 and Mac OS X
- Master attack tools to exploit wireless systems, including Aircrack-ng, coWPAtty, Pyrit, IPPON, FreeRADIUS-WPE, and the all new KillerBee
- Evaluate your threat to software update impersonation attacks on public networks
- Assess your threat to eavesdropping attacks on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and DECT networks using commercial and custom tools
- Develop advanced skills leveraging Software Defined Radio and other flexible frameworks
- Apply comprehensive defenses to protect your wireless devices and infrastructure
Johnny Cache (Virginia) received his Masters in Computer Science from the Naval Postgraduate School in 2006. His thesis work, which focused on fingerprinting 802.11 device drivers, won the Gary Kildall award for the most innovative computer science thesis. Johnny wrote his first program on a Tandy 128K color computer sometime in 1988. Since then he has spoken at several security conferences including BlackHat, BlueHat, and ToorCon. He has also released a number of papers related to 802.11 security, and is the author of many wireless tools. He is the founder and Chief Science Officer of Cache Heavy Industries.
Joshua Wright (Rhode Island) is a senior technical analyst with Counter Hack, and a senior instructor and author for the SANS Institute. Through his experiences as a penetration tester, Josh has worked with hundreds of organizations on attacking and defending mobile devices and wireless systems, disclosing significant product and protocol security weaknesses to well-known organizations. As an open-source software advocate, Josh has conducted cutting-edge research resulting in several software tools that are commonly used to evaluate the security of widely deployed technology targeting WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Z-Wave wireless systems, smart grid deployments, and the Android and Apple iOS mobile device platforms. In his spare time, Josh looks for any opportunity to void a warranty on his electronics.
