In this course, we will briefly overview the fundamentals of Wi-Fi networking, including the 802.11 standard set by IEEE. We will then discuss Wi-Fi security, including how to best lock down wireless access points. After covering Wi-Fi, we will move on to cellular networks and securing mobile devices. Then we will go through real-world network attacks and mitigating those attacks.
