Synopsis

WLAN is an attractive technology, public hot spots spring up all the time and the available bandwidth grows constantly.

To secure WLANs, System administrators need fundamental knowledge regarding 'Hacking'. This is to ensure they can identify potential dangers in time and can eliminate basic problems from the beginning.
