Security Basics: Re: Wifi Security / Pentesting

[Adriel Desautels <adriel () netragard com>]

Hi Alex,
        Instead of looking at tools you should focus on the actual reasons as
to why things are vulnerable and how specific types of attacks work. For
example, you can use Karma attacks to gain access to WPA networks
without cracking the network. In short, you can penetrate into a host
(if you can trick it with a karma attack), infect the host, tell the
host to connect back to you, and you're in...

        We do a lot of this sort of work, if you're interested in more
information catch me off-line and I'll help you out. I'm always eager to
help a fellow security nut. :)
