Wireless Hacking
With the use of laptop computers and PDA’s and mobile devices increasingly on the rise, the places where people perform computing are spreading. Network connectivity has become an integral part of computing. It is easy therefore to see why wireless networking is being employed on an increasingly larger scale. Wireless networks are a growing target for hackers creating numerous security challenges such that flaws and vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious hackers to gain access into wireless system architectures.
The Wireless Hacking course is a new and unique course that will help IT professionals develop and implement secure networks by understanding current standard vulnerabilities and how attacks are planned and perpetrated.
Training Overview
Wireless Hacking will help you understand how to improve WLAN security by showing the ways networks are attacked. You will examine current 802.11 standard security flaws and learn possible countermeasures. The course is ideally divided into three parts: a detailed description of the hardware needed to perpetrate the attack; how to perform network mapping and site surveying; and then to learn how attacks are performed.
Who Should Attend?
