Description

Wireless LANs have been widely deployed in the past few years, simultaneously introducing an explosion of security issues and unique vulnerabilities. Despite nowadays security means, it still appears a lot of available wireless networks are not being properly secured.

PREREQUISITE WARNING Each class has prerequisites for software loads and a laptop is mandatory. These individual class guides will list material the students are expected have knowledge about coming in and software tools that need to be pre-installed before attending so you get the maximum benefit from the focused intermediate or advanced level course. Please pay particular attention to the prerequisites, as the material listed there will not be reviewed in the courses, and will be necessary to get the maximum benefit out of these educational programs.
