As wireless communication develops, the problems of security risks evolve, threatening organizations and individuals and their data as well as operating environment. So getting to know how those protocols work and how to protect the threats as well as how to check the security play a critical role in those wireless applications. Special emphasis in this book is placed on the IEEE 802.11x-Standards, which is a leading standard for WLAN technology. Other technologies covered besides WLAN include: mobile phones, Bluetooth and infrared. This book is based both on personal experience and experience gathered in the course of various security projects in companies which can help me better understand the concepts and methods used in real cases. This book describes in a comprehensive way but still generally the actual state of the wireless communication technologies. Special emphasis is placed on security aspects. The second chapter talks about WLAN. Since WLAN serves as a core subject, this chapter is longer compared to the other technologies. In each chapters, possible risk scenarios will be presented after introducing the technological principles. The book is written in the order of different types of technologies instead of security aspects, so each chapter speaks for itself. For many security problems organizational measures will be proposed. The chapters on PDAs and mobile phones contain risk aspects and respected countermeasures. Many examples and scenarios in this book are taken from real world cases that everyone 4 Wireless Security may encounter. Hopefully I can learn something through the live examples from this book and apply the knowledge to the real world cases. WLAN Wireless Local Area Network is a milestone in improving the quality of the interconnections between the computers and their components for individuals and organizations. Pros and cons for wireless network Wireless network brings mobility and portability. It doesn't require the arrangement of wire, which makes the cost lower and the process quicker. In this way, it can easily meet the requirement of the mobile private users. Mobile networks allow access to data in real time. So it has a widely ranged prospective in marketplace, sometimes can be critical important. On the other hand, wireless network can have security problems compared to the fixed networks. The security problem is not severe when wireless network has access to data in local networks and the information will be publicly available in the first place. However, there is addition security challenges when it comes to the exchange of sensitive data, like the activities called \"wardriving\
