AirSnitch: Demystifying and breaking client isolation in Wi-Fi networks [pdf]

Client isolation in Wi-Fi networks is not a standardized feature and can be bypassed by attackers using various techniques such as abusing shared Group Temporal Keys (GTKs) and gateway bouncing. This allows attackers to intercept and inject traffic, enabling them to become a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) and potentially launch higher-layer attacks.
