Hereby my plan of action for preparing for Certified Wireless Security Professional.
This exam is very theoretic based. Need to know the different type of handshakes, roaming methods and EAP types. Knowing the protocol analysis from this helps to understand the why behind the theory.
Those requirements are based on CWSP-205 and the books that I used for preparation are the Sybex book and the Certitrek book.
