[Chris Hurley · Rating 1 out of 5]

As one of the "authors" of this book I can say that you should not buy it. The book is a collection of chapters that the publisher repurposed from other books most of which were out of date when the book was published, let alone now. There are several good books out there about wireless security, this is not one of them.
