Just in time for Xmas: Wireless Hacks v2

Related link: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/wirelesshks2/

Rob Flickenger told me at the beginning of the project to bring this book out that "writing a Hacks book is part writing and part project managment." He was certainly right.

I'm really proud of this book. We had a great bunch of contributors who have put lots of work into their hacks, and as a result, Wireless Hacks v2 is packed full of really fun and cool things.

A few of the new hacks in the book:

• Broadcast Your GPS Position (Abuse the 802.11 beacon frame)


• Mobilize Your WRT54G with the WiFiCar


• Analyze Elevation Profiles for Better Long-Range Wireless Networking (The newest revision of NoCat Maps)


• Build an Online Community in Your Offline Neighborhood

These are just some of my favorites that we added. However, there is a lot of great material from the first edition that has been expanded and updated as well.

There are also five sample hacks available from the O'Reilly site. Please look over them to get a better idea of what's available in the rest of the book.

Do you have a wireless geek in your life? Wireless Hacks v2 would make a great Xmas present! You can order it directly from O'Reilly through the link above. The online book retailers don't have their copies yet... considering I just got my copy on Wednesday, that's not suprising.

Let me know when you see any of the online book retailers carrying Wireless Hacks, Second Edition.
