New Attack Against Wi-Fi

12 hours ago

AirSnitch is a new Wi-Fi attack exploiting core features in Layers 1 and 2, leveraging cross-layer identity desynchronization.
It enables a full, bidirectional machine-in-the-middle (MitM) attack, allowing attackers to view and modify data regardless of SSID or network segment.
Attackers can intercept all link-layer traffic, leading to higher-layer attacks, especially dangerous when Internet connections are unencrypted (6-20% of pages on Windows/Linux).
Even with HTTPS, attackers can perform DNS cache poisoning and exploit unpatched vulnerabilities, accessing external IPs and correlating them with visited URLs.
