eBook : Back Track 5 Wireless Penetration Testing , A Complete Beginner's Guide

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, an Alfa AWUS036H USB wireless Wi-Fi adapter, BackTrack 5, 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 could also create a Virtual Machine housing
Back Track 5 and connect the card to it over the USB interface. This will help you get started with using this book much faster, but we would recommend a dedicated machine running Back Track 5 for actual assessments in the field.

As a prerequisite, readers 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 the user is already aware of these concepts.

Software requirements

 We will need the following software to set up the wireless lab:

• ‹‹ BackTrack 5: BackTrack can be downloaded from their official website located at http://www.backtrack-linux.org. The software is open source and you should be able to download it directly from the website.

• ‹‹ Windows XP/Vista/7: You will need any one of Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 installed in one of the laptops. This laptop will be used as the victim machine for the rest of the book.It is important to note that even though we are using a Windows-based OS for our tests, the techniques learnt can be applied to any Wi-Fi capable devices such as Smart Phones and Tablets, among others.

And Here We go !! .. Just Download this E-book and learn to use Backtrack 5. and Hack the wireless network !
