A book review of Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing by Vivek Ramachandaran. A great guide for beginners and even those with some experience in wireless penetration testing. Crammed full of tutorials so you are effectively led by your hand all step by step.
The book adopts a progressive and simple-to-understand methodology whereby you are explained the fundamentals and details of the protocol / subject of the chapter. Next follows on the practical exercise, ending with a short quiz.
Going through most of the exercises I truly felt that this was on par with a real instructor led classroom learning. Billed as a beginners book, I’m sure that even if you are a beginner, by the time you’ve gone through this book once you’ll feel anything but one!
