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

328 DamnInteresting 2026-02-26 16:18:13 UTC ndss-symposium.org Llama Share 159

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.
