Reference Registry — Wireless Security

Purpose

This note standardizes references for the wireless-security branch.

Use it to: - keep wireless notes tied to official, practical, high-signal sources - avoid turning the branch into a random tool list - preserve the boundary between authorized lab work and unsafe activity - help future agents choose consistent references

Source of truth rule

For wireless-security notes, this registry is the primary source of truth.

Use it together with: - Wireless Security Index - Networking Index - Offensive Security / Recon Index

Reference selection policy

Source priority

  1. official standards, vendor, and project documentation
  2. official tool documentation
  3. practical packet-analysis documentation
  4. high-signal security research
  5. secondary sources only when they add clear value

Per-note target

  • minimum 2 references
  • ideal 3 references
  • avoid long reference lists in atomic notes

Labeling

Use: - Foundational - Official Tool Docs - Testing / Lab - Research / Deep Dive - Mitigation

Registry usage rules

  • Use active attack tooling only in notes that explicitly name an owned lab or written authorization boundary.
  • Prefer capture, observation, and defensive validation labs before disruptive labs.
  • Keep Wi-Fi radio mechanics in this branch and generic TCP/IP mechanics in index.
  • Keep credential theft and phishing mechanics out of wireless notes unless the note is explicitly defensive and points to social-engineering controls.
