      Conclusion

      Introduction

      Today we live in a digital, wireless world, a connected world and, while this has a ton of benefits, it has its downsides too. Everywhere you go, there are Wi-Fi hotspots and Wi-Fi networks, all making it so easy to connect and do our work or have some fun. Unfortunately, it’s also easy for hackers. How often have you read or heard stories about banks, major companies and government institutions being hacked into, all because their network wasn’t fully secured? You would think that, as time went on, we would become better at defending ourselves and our data but, instead, it seems that the opposite has happened – the attacks are getting more and more frequent and, frighteningly, far more sophisticated.  Why? For two reasons- many people still don’t truly understand how to keep their networks secure and the hackers are becoming cleverer.

      That’s why I decided to write this book. Your Wi-Fi network is the main port of attack on your system and the best way to understand how to secure it is to understand how the hackers get in. You do that by learning penetration testing.  I want you to understand what the wireless network insecurities are and how to carry out your own penetration tests on your own systems so that you can find and plug them.

      This is a highly practical book and, to that end, you will need several things:

      ●  Kali Linux – the most popular platform in the world for penetration testing, with pretty much every tool you need for both security and hacking.

      ●  Two laptops, both with Wi-fi cards built-in.

      ●  A USB Wi-Fi adaptor

      ●  Kali Linux

      ●  Other software and hardware, all detailed in the very first chapter.

      As this is the second in a book series, you should already be aware of Kali Linux and have a basic understanding of how a wireless network works, including the 802.11 protocol. We will touch on this though, as we go through the setup of your testing lab.

      Chapter 1: Setting up Your Wireless Lab

      Wireless penetration, hacking your own Wi-Fi network, is not something you can do in five minutes. The first thing we are going to do is build ourselves a wireless lab – this is the preparation you need to do before you can dive head-first into real-world testing.  This is an almost entirely practical book because that is exactly what wireless penetration testing is. Our lab will help us to try all manner of experiments in a safe environment so get ready to start.

      Hardware Requirements

      To set up the wireless lab you are going to need the following hardware:

      ●  Two laptops, both with built-in Wi-Fi cards. One will be used as the penetration tester and the other as the victim. Most laptops are perfectly fine for this but try to use those that have at least 3 GB RAM – much of what you are going to do is quite memory-intensive

      ●  A wireless adaptor – this is optional and will depend on what your built-in Wi-Fi cards are. If they do NOT have support for packet sniffing and packet injection, you’ll need an adaptor that does.

      ●  An access point – you will need an access8 point with support for the WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption standards. I’ll be using a TP-Link TL-WR841N router.

      ●  Internet connection – you will need this for
