I'm ready to perform my first wireless security assessment, I have some experience performing wired security assesments, more than the tools that are available to perform the scan, I'm concern for the testing methodology and procedures since I believe that the nature of the wireless world it is totally different, can somebody point me to the right direction
You are very lucky. ISECOM just released "OSSTMM Wireless" a manual with methodology on how to test wireless networks. Very in-depth and thorough. You can find it here: http://www.isecom.org/projects/osstmm.htmAs for the wireless world, I find NIST's Special Publication 800-48 very enlightening. It is available at http://www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-48/NIST_SP_800-48.pdf
