Other Sources of Information
Wireless security is a dynamic field of study. It is important to know where to obtain the latest information on wireless technologies as well as information on the latest attacks. At the time of this writing, there are many standards under development that may drastically change the wireless landscape within the next few years. In addition, the features provided in each operating system are being enhanced and expanded constantly, so it is important to know how those changes impact your deployment.
