wifi – PwnDefend

Breaching WPA2 PSK Wireless Networks

This weekend I was running a workshop with my awesome friend James, where we were discussing the realities of wireless network security, man in the middle attacks and what we have found in the field, both from an offensive perspective and as corporate network defenders. As with all things in life, sometime reality doesn’t work quite as well as a demo! So I’ve done a quick thread on twitter showing the kill chain an adversary can deploy when attacking WPA2 PSK (without PMF enforced) networks. This is written as a twitter thread so bear with the style!

Wifi, Iphones and Persec/Opsec

I’m back with my AI enabled self! This evening I’m jumping into some interesting things about WIFI probes! Now back in the day you could deploy a pineapple etc. can you would hear phones calling out all the time for SSIDs to connect to, you could fingerprint phones (and infer people) from them!

But that’s not really the case anymore! If we camp with a pineapple or other setup, it’s not really the same anymore! (unless someone has a hidden SSID… they are terrible for PERSEC/OPSEC!!)

Want to know why? Well it’s down to how phones are programmed to poll (probe) for SSIDs… I’ve tested this in a car park miles away with a range of kit! (not dodgy at all right!)

To help me answer this I turned to my currently favourite LLM: GROK
