I completed 70-80% of the book. In general, there is a lot of information about wireless network devices and gadgets, wireless network architecture, wireless network and client attacks. In addition, principles of encryption and the defenses required for wireless network security are presented to the readers in detail.
A great overview and good resource for beginners, a good reference for more experienced. If you are interested in Wireless network security, you should definitely read this book.
