In this first of many Upskill Challenges from wireless penetration testing veteran, Ross Flynn, he explains the basics of Wi-Fi with a brief history, frequencies, protocols and encryption methods to set a foundation for further study. Look for other UCs on Wi-Fi Pentesting and the usage of various Wi-Fi tools.
If this is a bit too basic for you, jump right into the next UC in Ross’s Wi-Fi series, UC – Aircrack-ng.

What’s an Upskill Challenge (UC)?
A UC is a CTF-style, bite-sized lesson from the JHT Team, our courseware developers as well as “friends” of JHT. They are meant to be short and to the point. UCs focus on a single tool or concept and are helpful in quickly providing useful skills that might be prerequisites for other types of educational content on the platform.
A UC should be 10 – 30 minutes of student time and have no VMs. There are quizzes to make sure that the content is understood.
Prerequisites for “UC – Wi-Fi Basics”
UCs assume no knowledge at all! They’re meant to be completely self-contained, so all of the answers are in the lesson. No outside research is required.
