TidBITS Published Take Control of Your Wi-Fi Security

Wireless network users--whether they run a Wi-Fi network or use a hot spot on the road--can now find out how to protect their computers and their data from attackers in the 115-page Take Control of Your Wi-Fi Security. Written by wireless networking experts Glenn Fleishman and Adam Engst, the $10 ebook clearly explains the steps necessary to evaluate security risks; restrict access via WPA; secure data transmissions using PGP, SSL, SSH, and VPNs; and protect systems using anti-virus software and firewalls. The ebook provides advice on securing small office wireless networks, including details on choosing VPN hardware and software, and on setting up 802.1X for secure Wi-Fi logins. Readers will also learn how to perform a wireless network security audit using the same freely available tools that crackers might use.

10% of the proceeds of all TidBITS ebooks during September will be donated to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina victims. [Bill Fox]
