Caution! Wireless Networking
By Jack McCullogh
Published by Wiley
268 Pages

This book focuses mainly on the security issues arise with wireless networking, ranging from viruses to e-eavesdropping. Some of the threats, such as worms and hoaxes, are familiar from wired networks and are fairly easy to guard against. Others, such as drive-by downloads and sniffers, are linked to natured of wireless communications and are considerably tougher to fight.

The book offers a spectrum of defensive measures, but the main problem is that they are mainly designed for the American environment. Still, there are useful principles dicussed here, althought Asian users will have to check for system compatibility.
