eBook Title: Cyber Security: Wireless Hacking & Defense – The Wi-Fi Security Handbook by Mark Hayward

Unmask the hidden vulnerabilities in your wireless networks and master the art of Wi-Fi security with "Cyber Security: Wireless Hacking & Defense – The Wi-Fi Security Handbook," an authoritative eBook by renowned cybersecurity expert Mark Hayward. In today's hyper-connected world, wireless networks are ubiquitous – from home Wi-Fi in England to enterprise networks across the UK. However, their convenience often comes at the cost of significant security risks. This essential guide equips you with the knowledge and tools to understand wireless hacking techniques and, more importantly, to build impregnable wireless defenses.

The Invisible Battleground of Wireless Security: Many assume their Wi-Fi is secure, but unpatched routers, weak encryption protocols, and misconfigurations create tempting targets for cybercriminals and ethical hackers. This handbook delves into the methodologies attackers use to breach wireless networks, including WPA2 and WPA3 cracking, rogue access point deployment, de-authentication attacks, and eavesdropping on wireless traffic. By understanding these offensive security tactics, you gain the critical insight needed to implement proactive, robust wireless security measures. It’s about transforming your wireless environment from a potential weak link into a formidable fortress.
