Wireless reconnaissance in penetration testing: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Wireless reconnaissance in penetration testing" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
In many penetration tests, there is a lot of useful information to be gathered from the radios used by organizations. These radios can include two-way radios used by guards, wireless headsets, cordless phones and wireless cameras. Wireless Reconnaissance in Penetration Testing describes the many ways that a penetration tester can gather and apply the information available from radio traffic. Stopping attacks means thinking like an attacker, and understanding all the ways that attackers gather information, or in industry terms profile, specific targets. With information from what equipment to use and how to find frequency information, to tips for reducing radio information leakage, to actual case studies describing how this information can be used to attack computer systems, this book is the go-to resource for penetration testing and radio profiling.
- Author Matthew Neely is a respected and well-known expert and speaker on radio reconnaissance and penetration testing
- Includes real-world case studies of actual penetration tests using radio profiling
- Covers data leakage, frequency, attacks, and information gathering

Id like to start out by thanking Joan Amaratti for believing I could write a book all those years ago. Id also like to thank Ken Stasiak and the SecureState family for supporting me throughout the entire writing process. Finally I dedicate this book to Meagan Call for being a wonderfully supportive wife through this and all my projects.

I dedicate this book to BNH, ELH, and JAH.

Radio waves surround us and more and more devices are being made wireless. Most penetration testers focus only on the very small portion of the radio spectrum using by 802.11 and Bluetooth devices. Physical penetration tests often miss guard radios, wireless headsets, wireless cameras, and many other radio devices commonly used in the modern corporation. These systems transmit a wealth of information which can aid a penetration tester in a targeted attack.
This book aims to educate penetration testers on how to find these too often ignored radios and mine them for information. The following chapters include information ranging from choosing the best equipment to use and how to find frequency information, to actual case studies demonstrating how this information has been used during penetration tests. The authors draw on a combined knowledge derived from performing hundreds of penetration tests and decades of radio experience to share tips, tricks and helpful notes about this less explored avenue of attack. This book is the definitive resource for anyone interested in adding radio profiling to his or her arsenal of penetration testing tools.
The book is also a great resource for the people who need to defend computer systems and companies. Like penetration testers, defenders often ignore wireless traffic outside of 802.11. This book shows various radios that might be deployed in various environments and how attackers could exploit the information leaked by these radio systems. Essential information on how to prevent this information leakage from occurring is also included.
The best way to read this book is in the order its presented, but the chapters are structured to assist the reader should he decide to read out of order. When key concepts are mentioned which were covered in earlier chapters, the page will reference the earlier chapter so the reader can flip back if he needs a refresher or is reading the chapters out of order. A glossary is also included at the end of the book to help with unfamiliar terms.
In the first chapter of the book the reader will learn what radio reconnaissance is and how it is useful during penetration tests. The chapter concludes with a short case study of radio reconnaissance used during a physical penetration test at a power company.
In the reader will learn the theory behind how radios work and gain an introduction to the different radios systems you will encounter while performing radio reconnaissance. The chapter starts by discussing basic radio theory. The authors cover the terminology needed to understand underlying concepts, give an overview of the radio spectrum and discuss how radio waves behave at different frequencies. Next, they cover how a radio works and the different components found in a radio receiver. After the reader learns how radios work, she will read about the most important part of a radio: the antenna. This part of the chapter starts out by covering antenna theory and wraps up with a discussion of the most common types of antennas one might encounter while performing radio reconnaissance during a penetration test. After antennas are discussed, the chapter moves on to the different ways radios encode data (modulation types). This section covers analog, digital and spread spectrum modulation types. Next is a rundown of the different types of most commonly used radio systems. This starts out simply, discussing simplex verses duplex radio systems, expands to cover repeaters, and concludes with an explanation of trunked radio systems. The chapter ends with recommendations on where to learn more about radios and radio theory.
