WarDriving and Wireless Penetration
Testing by Brian Baker
Very Very Highly Recommended!!
Wireless networking has become standard in many business and
government networks. This book is the first book that focuses on the
methods used by professionals to perform WarDriving and wireless
pentration testing.
Unlike other wireless networking and security books that have been
published in recent years, this book is geared primarily to those individuals
that are tasked with performing penetration testing on wireless networks.
This book continues in the successful vein of books for penetration testers
such as Google Hacking for Penetration Testers and Penetration Testers
Open Source Toolkit. Additionally, the methods discussed will prove
invaluable for network administrators tasked with securing wireless
networks. By understanding the methods used by penetration testers and

attackers in general, these administrators can better define the strategies
needed to secure their networks.
* According to a study by the Strategis Group more than one third of the
words population will own a wireless device by the end of 2008.
* The authors have performed hundreds of wireless penetration tests,
modeling their attack methods after those used by real world attackers.
* Unlike other wireless books, this is geared specifically for those
individuals that perform security assessments and penetration tests on
wireless networks.
Personal Review: WarDriving and Wireless Penetration Testing
by Brian Baker
Are you a wireless security administrator? If you are, then this book is for
you. Authors Chris Hurley, Russ Rogers, Frank Thornton, Daniel Connelly
and Brian Baker, have done an outstanding job of writing a book to show
you how to analyze wireless networks through wardriving and penetration
testing.
Hurley, Rogers, Thornton, Connelly and Baker, begin with a discussion
about wardriving and how it applies to a wireless penetration test. Then,
the authors discuss how antennas work and how to choose the right
antenna for conduction wireless network penetration testing. Next, they
show you how to use a handheld device for direction finding and tracking,
down to rogue access points and clients. The authors also introduce some
basic techniques for wardriving and penetration testing using Microsoft
Windows. They continue by describing the steps necessary to configure
and utilize the KisMAC WLAN discovery tool in order to successfully
wardrive. Then, the authors show you how to identify your specific WLAN
target and determine what security measures are being utilized. Next, they
show you how to use two of the most popular mapping applications:
Kismet and NetStumbler. The authors then discuss the hardware required
for a wireless MITM attack. They continue by focusing on the Open WRT
firmware. Finally, they focus on how to perform a wireless test against a
client, and examine some of the vulnerabilities related to wireless video.
This most excellent book assesses wireless networks, while leveraging
these free tools to low-cost supporting hardware. Perhaps more
importantly, after reading this book, you'll get a taste of how wardriving
really works in the real world.
