5 YouTube ChannelsBefore I ask you about your favorite YouTube channels, I want to share with you my opinion about this type of free learning method.

I love social media. Thanks to platforms like LinkedIN or Twitter I have access to news about new technologies or certifications. For IT professionals like you or me, there is something else – YouTube. Yes, YouTube. Some people use it for watching “60 Minutes with My Cats” or “The Best of Harlem Shake”. Our goal is to move our skills to another level, so we’re using YouTube to learn, learn and learn.

WiFi Security ExpertThere is nothing better like free trainings. And when we talk about free trainings about hacking wireless networks, what can be better.

Today I want to present another training from Vivek Ramachandran – SecurityTube Wi-Fi Security Expert (SWSE).

There are three reasons this training is so special:
1. Vivek is a real expert on this field. He discovered the Caffe Latte attack, broke WEP Cloaking, a WEP protection schema in 2007 publicly at Defcon and conceptualized enterprise Wi-Fi Backdoors. He is also the author of the book “Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing“.
2. This training is 100% FREE. No login’s required.
3. You can also buy additional access to other resources (including a certification exam).
