Book Review: How Secure Is Your Wireless Network?

Lee Barken has put together an excellent and comprehensive book on wireless network security. This book covers the history and concepts as well as what you need to know about wi-fi security.

Pros

Cons

Wireless networks are popping up everywhere. They are hot for home users and for corporations. They are springing up in coffee shops and book stores. But, anyone can intercept those airwaves so you need to be sure that you know how to secure your wireless network and protect your network and your computers from prying eyes. How Secure Is Your Wireless Network? provides detailed coverage of the available wireless protocols and the pitfalls of each (like interference with common household devices such as cordless phones and baby monitors). This book is a very good resource, but may be a little too technical for the non-computer gurus. Barken does a good job of explaining most of the concepts and steps in relatively plain English though.
