Product Description
Wherever You Go, There You Are!
  • Build, Deploy and Maintain a "Homebrew" Wi-Fi Network
  • Create a Low-Cost/High-Yield Development Roadmap for Wireless Enthusiasts, Households, Small Businesses and Community Groups
  • Customize Wireless Operating Systems, Install Antennas, Build Solar-Powered Access Points and More
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.
  • Construct Solar Powered Access Points and Repeaters for your Wi-Fi network.
  • WarDrive for wireless access points with tools like Kismet and NetStumbler.
  • 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!
