Résumé

Wherever You Go, There You Are!

A few years ago, wireless internet access was just a glint in the eyes of the IT industry. Today, most notebook PCs ship with built-in Wi-Fi capability, and Wi-Fi access points have become as important as the espresso machines at the neighborhood Starbucks. Wireless Hacking provides a low-cost/high-yield blueprint for wireless enthusiasts, households, small businesses and communities. After reading this book, you will be able to build, deploy and maintain a "homebrew" Wi-Fi network. And if you just want some geek fun, Wireless Hacking won't disappoint. You will be challenged! Written by members of the pioneering SoCalFreeNet Wireless Users Group, Wireless Hacking delivers a series of interrelated projects, with full integration of both hardware and software hacks.

Some of the wireless hacks in this book include:

Use existing Ethernet cables to provide low-voltage power to Access Points with no additional source of electricity.
Install Linux and FreeBSD on low-cost (under $150) Soekris single-board computers.
Modify the firmware of your Linksys WRT54g.
WarDrive for wireless access points with tools like Kismet and NetStumbler.
You can do that? Run Linux on your Microsoft Xbox.
Install an antenna without killing yourself or changing the earth's orbit.
Expand your Wi-Fi network beyond one box and 50 users with MESH network topology.

...Many more hacks and modifications inside!
