Implementing 802.1X Security Solutions for Wired and Wireless Networks

nice product

This is one of the best book I have come across for port based authentication system. Jim Geier goes through all the components required to successfully run a port based authentication system. I will say the shipping did take a long time for me (about 2-2.5 weeks).

This is a good introductory book for 802.1x. Very useful on "how to" when it comes to configuration. However, out of the book's 330 pages , it has 109 pages on RFCs and glossary. The book also lacks at least one EAP method supplicant-authenticator-authentication server trace file with Wireshark, that shows the full end-to-end exchange in detail. That would have been great for introductory and advanced users as well. The book lacks this deeper look, anyway, it is introductory. Sherif

They item came handy and okay. It was as I was expecting it to be, and also came earlier than the seller had estimated

Pros: It is a good book for 802.1x protocol learning. It teaches a lot about the packets structures and low level information. It teaches some nice tips about WiFi as bonus. Very easy reading. Cons: I think it could tell more about the practice. It looks like 1/3 of the book is RFC, that we can easily find on Internet.
