Product Description

The popularity of wireless networking has grown exponentially over the past few years, despite a general downward trend in the telecommunications industry. More and more computers and users worldwide communicate via radio waves every day, cutting the tethers of the cabled network both at home and at work. Wireless technology changes not only the way we talk to our devices, but also what we ask them to do. With greater flexibility, broader range, and increased mobility, wireless networks let us live, work, and think differently. Wireless networks also open up a vast range of tasty new hack possibilities, from fine-tuning network frequencies to hot-rodding handhelds. The second edition of "Wireless Hacks", co-authored by Rob Flickenger and Roger Weeks, brings readers more of the practical tips and tricks that made the first edition a runaway hit, selling nearly 30,000 copies. Completely revised and updated, this version includes over thirty brand-new hacks, major overhauls of over thirty more, and timely adjustments and touch-ups to dozens of other hacks introduced in the first edition. From passive network scanning to aligning long-distance antennas, beefing up wireless network security, and beyond, "Wireless Hacks" answers real-life networking needs with direct solutions. Flickenger and Weeks both have extensive experience in systems and network administration, and share a passion for making wireless more broadly available. The authors include detailed coverage in "Wireless Hacks" for important new changes in specifications, hardware and software, and delve deep into cellular and Bluetooth technologies. Whether you need your wireless network to extend to the edge of your desk, fit into your backpack, or cross county lines, the proven techniques in "Wireless Hacks" will show you how to get the coverage and functionality you're looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top banana, 27 May 2004

By	"p_hilton" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wireless Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools: 100 Industrial Strength Tips and Tools (Paperback)

If you have a wi-fi enabled PDA or laptop buy this book. I found it well written and full of usefull tips for both bright eyed begineers, and the more savvy. Clear technical explanations for each 'hack' and most importantly how to adapt the 'hack' for the OS you have, whether it is OSX, Linux, XP, or Pocket PC. I particularly liked the sections on 'how to build your own wave guide' and 'How to test your home wireless network'. In short this book is a real gem and one I think I will keep on going back to. If you want to 'get your toes wet' with wifi or do something a bit different with your current setup, you could do far worse than by this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Into wireless.....get this!, 11 Feb 2005

By	MR S S BHACHU (HAYES, MIDDLESEX United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wireless Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools: 100 Industrial Strength Tips and Tools (Paperback)

If like me you have a wirelss lan (or are thinking of setting one up), you will want to learn all the little tricks to make it just that more great.

The book introduces you to some of the coolest bits of software on the free market as well as some of the more less known ones.

It also shows you how to secure your wireless network, cool bluetooth tricks, monitor what your LAN users are viewing in real time!

AND LOTS MORE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, 5 May 2004

By	M. Jenkins "marcusj44" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wireless Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools: 100 Industrial Strength Tips and Tools (Paperback)

This book is an absolutely fantastic recipe book for those wanting to play with wireless comms (in particular, wireless computer networking). We have a remote farmhouse in Spain and the projects relating to stretching the coverage over greater distance are just what the doctor ordered.
