802.11 Wireless Networks Security and Analysis
Wireless communication has the advantage of mobility and obviates the need for cabling, but is inherently less secure and is subject to the heavy regulation of the radio frequency spectrum. Nevertheless, the allocation of unlicensed parts of the spectrum

Preface
This book is about wireless local area networks (WLANs) based upon the IEEE 802.11 standards. It has three primary objectives: • To introduce the principles of 802.11 wireless networks and show how to configure equipment in order to implement various network solutions. • To provide an understanding of the security implications of wireless networks and demonstrate how vulnerabilities can be mitigated. • To introduce the underlying 802.11 protocols and build mathematical models in order to analyse performance in a WLAN environment. The book is aimed at industry profess
