Hacking Exposed Wireless

---

Since the first edition of Hacking Exposed Wireless, the technologies and the threats facing these communications have grown in number and sophistication. Combined with the rapidly increasing number of deployments the risk of implementing wireless technologies has been compounded. Nevertheless, the risk is often surpassed by the benefits and convenience of wireless technologies, which have been a large factor in the spread of these devices within homes, offices, and enterprises spanning the globe. The story of wireless security can no longer be told with a narrow focus on 802.11 technology. The popularity of wireless technologies has created an intense interest in other popular wireless protocols such as ZigBee and DECT—interest that has manifested itself into research into attacks and vulnerabilities within the protocols and the implementation of those protocols in devices. With this growth in wireless technologies, these networks have become increasingly attractive to attackers looking to steal data or compromise functionality. While traditional security measures can be implemented in an effort to help mitigate some of these threats, a wireless attack surface presents a unique and difficult challenge that must first be understood before it can be secured in its own unique fashion.
