Kismet is the industry standard for examining wireless network traffic, and is used by over 250,000 security professionals, wireless networking enthusiasts, and WarDriving hobbyists.

People who use Linux and want to use wireless tools need to use Kismet. Now with the introduction of Kismet NewCore, they have a book that will answer all their questions about using this great tool. This book continues in the successful vein of books for wireless users such as WarDriving: Drive, Detect Defend.

*Kismet has over 250,000 users, making it far and away the most popular wireless sniffer.
*Despite Kismet's market saturation, there are no competing titles.
*The authors of Kismet Hacking have been involved in engineering and setting up hundreds of wireless networks, as well as being at the forefront of wireless network security.
