This book offers a real solution for all those who love cybersecurity and hacking on Wi-Fi / 802.11 technologies, those who want to learn how to easily program their own tools for pentesting or auditing wireless networks. During the recent years Python has reached a prominent position as one of the bests programming languages for the pentesting, thanks to its simplicity and its wide capabilities. The large number of modules, libraries and examples publicly available permit to easily code any kind of application. Scapy is the most complete network module for Python, and allows analyzing, dissecting, forging and injecting any frame over any existing network protocol. The scarcity of documentation on Scapy Dot11 makes this book a unique tool for all professionals, hackers, pentesters, security analysts and cyberforenses who wish to create their own arsenal of Wi-Fi penetration tools. The format of this book offers a first section which covers a theoretical introduction about Wi-Fi networks and their operating structure.
