What you need for this book

To follow and recreate the practical exercises in this book, you will need two laptops with built in Wi-Fi cards, a USB wireless Wi-Fi adapter, Kali Linux, and some other hardware and software. We have detailed this in Chapter 1, Wireless Lab Setup.

As an alternative to the two laptop setup, you can also create a virtual machine housing Kali Linux and connect the card to it using the USB interface. This will help you get started with using this book much faster, but we would recommend that you use a dedicated machine running Kali Linux for actual assessments in the field.

From a prerequisite perspective, you should be aware of the basics of wireless networks. This includes having prior knowledge about the basics of the 802.11 protocol and client-access point communication. Though we will briefly touch upon some of this when we set up the lab, it is expected that you are already aware of these concepts.

Vivek Ramachandran

Vivek Ramachandran has been working on Wi-Fi security since 2003. He discovered the Caffe Latte attack and also broke WEP Cloaking, a WEP protection schema, publicly in 2007 at DEF CON. In 2011, he was the first to demonstrate how malware could use Wi-Fi to create backdoors, worms, and even botnets. Earlier, Vivek was one of the programmers of the 802.1x protocol and Port Security in Cisco's 6500 Catalyst series of switches, and he was also one of the winners of the Microsoft Security Shootout contest held in India among a reported 65,000 participants. He is best known in the hacker community as the founder of SecurityTube.net, where he routinely posts videos on Wi-Fi security, assembly language, exploitation techniques, and so on. SecurityTube.net receives over 100,000 unique visitors a month. Vivek's work on wireless security has been quoted in BBC Online, InfoWorld, MacWorld, The Register, IT World Canada, and so on. This year, he will speak or train at a number of security conferences, including Blackhat, DEF CON, Hacktivity, 44con, HITB-ML, BruCON Derbycon, Hashdays, SecurityZone, and SecurityByte.
