BackTrack - Wireless

You ever wonder how secure your wireless network really is and whether an intruder can easily gain access; have a look at the presentation below to find out how easy it is to penetrate a wireless network that is not properly secured.

Disclaimer: The techniques in the presentation are to be used on networks that you own and/or have explicit access and permission to perform such activities.

The link below will download the presentation I put together some time ago:
