Kali Linux Wireless Penetration Testing Beginner's Guide - Third Edition: Master wireless testing techniques to survey and attack wireless networks with Kali Linux, including the KRACK attack

Well worth every penny I spent on it. Many people are focused on hacking kits that do everything for you with a menu driven system and you can't analyze for yourself (on a packet level) what is going on. This book walks you through aircrack suite, along with wireshark, to support your steps so you SEE and KNOW what's happening at every step of your hack. Things you didnt realize was happening in the background of wireless will shock you. So you will not enjoy this book unless you really aim to understand what you're doing, which is not what most new security folks care about.

I am a college Professor in which this is the assigned lab book

Easy to follow and a good book for beginners.

I would definitely recommend this book. It is well explained and easy to follow.

Ive read several pen test books out there, and this book is pretty good. I like the flow of the book. However, some of the tools used are a bit dated (Airmon-ng, while still good, has been around a while). Also, some of the techniques arent compatible with Kali on VMWorkstation, and there are issues getting it to work correctly. There should be some type of call-out to warn of possible issues.Otherwise, easy to read and understand.

It looks ok - but in 2025 this book is dated. This should be more clearly indicated on the Amazon sales page

Although it is an easy read and the concepts are relevant- for someone inexperienced like me- I recommend people look for something less outdated. Several tools the book uses are deprecated or obsolete. You will have to spend hours going through online forums to learn what libraries and programs you will have to install to use tools that are no longer supported. Even then, it’s a struggle getting the tools to work properly. The new, replacement tools are much easier to use and the documentation for those is relevant and continuously being updated.
