Programming Wireless Security

This paper is an introduction to some of the programming techniques needed to build wireless security tools. It will go through installing some basic tools then discuss topics including packet injection, sniffing and filtering and giv a brief overview of WPA Pre-Shared Key and the EAPOL 4 way handshake. All the techniques will be brought together to create an application to automate capturing an EAPOL handshake which can then be used to attempt to crack the Pre-Shared Key.
