2. Course Material
This course is based on our book Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing which has sold over 3000+ copies worldwide and has received a 5 star rating on Amazon by its readers.
This is by far the best technical security book I’ve ever read. It is clear that the author Vivek not only understands the topic extremely well, but possesses the skill in being able to teach that knowledge to others. The structure and build up of the book is very well laid out and easy to follow. So if you’re a beginner you can start from page 1 chapter 1, but if you’re a bit more well-versed, you can pick it up further along.

4. Student Testimonials
I am working for a WISP and have more than 5 years experience in wireless networks. I was looking for a wireless security course which would be comprehensive and structured, and which explains the basics to the absolute bleeding edge advanced. The pedantic approach to learning using practical and challenging labs is what made me take the SecurityTube Wi-Fi Security Expert course and certification. Vivek’s videos provide a perfect way to learn and the student forum allowed me to clear my doubts and get hints and tips to solve my existing problems, and to explore new things which I never thought before.
