i dont know how you can say its easy. if you have any good links, please post em. i can set up a router no prob.... im getting confused remembering and keeping track of which authentication is used in what situation, how the handshakes and keys are exchanged for 802.11i, what the encryption is on each.... if you have a way of simplifying it, please tell me.cisco_certs wrote: »dude that's easy. you need to convince yourself its easy or else you will have a tough time.

I read the CWNA book and google it. Also, I used to crack WEP and WPA so studying Wireless brings back great memories. loli dont know how you can say its easy. if you have any good links, please post em. i can set up a router no prob.... im getting confused remembering and keeping track of which authentication is used in what situation, how the handshakes and keys are exchanged for 802.11i, what the encryption is on each.... if you have a way of simplifying it, please tell me. -

Separate Encryption and Authentication.
Study one thing at a time, separating the two makes authentication seem nearly childs play.
Encryption is the harder one.Certs: CISSP, EnCE, OSCP, CRTP, eCTHPv2, eCPPT, eCIR, LFCS, CEH, SPLK-1002, SC-200, SC-300, AZ-900, AZ-500, VHL:Advanced+
2023 Cert Goals: SC-100, eCPTX -
