Helpfull at most.
I only gave this book three stars because the author is rather jaded, and I am not entirely sure how much of what he says does what he says.
As an example: He spoke of remotely erasing data from devices to prevent someone who stole the device from obtaining data somewhere in the first chapter. That is simply not going to help you. If some one steals a device for the data, erasing it is not going to help you, they are just going to use a utility to rewrite all the allocation table indexs back to 1′s, and whalla the data is back (if there smart they wont even have to buy anything to do it, because DOS has that utility built in). When it comes to file protection, encryption is the only way to go,,. unfortunately when someone has the device, if there good enough they can get at the key.
Making data hard to get at is one thing, but believing that there is an absolute solution is obsurd.
The book was helpful in that it introduced me to many if not most or all of the concepts. As with every one else that is most likely reading or going to read this book, I have not messed with wireless to terably much, and I now have a good bases to start researching the topics further, because I definitely do not trust this mans judgement.
The author also often feels that he can predict the future and tell you with in a good 3-6 month period of when certain vulnerabilities are going to be exploited,,. such as wireless viruses being written on a regular basis in mid 2006. That one has already been proven false,,. I suppose that is more of an annoying writing style though, I am sure that at some point they will start poping up more readily,,. just not in mid 2006!
