Hello all and Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating!!
I got this book for Christmas that I am REALLY excited about:
Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing Beginner's Guide: Master Bleeding ... - Vivek Ramachandran - Google Books
I started reading it tonight and it says in order to set up the wireless lab you would need:
It also briefly mentions that you can use Virtual Box, but doesn't give any details. I currently have two VMs set up in my VMware Player: Backtrack and Windows XP. Is it possible to set up a wireless lab this way and still be able to carry out the exercises in this book (for any who may be familiar with it)? Would I need to go out and get an Alfa wireless adapter as well for things like packet injections.
If the book wasn't a giveaway, I'm very new to this and I'm hoping to build a foundation to work on. I'd really love to learn about wireless security and get some insights into Penetration Testing but I just don't have the room to set up a real wireless lab so I'd love to find a way to achieve this through virtual machines. Any help would REALLY be appreciated!
Thank you so much!
