New AirSnitch attack breaks Wi-Fi encryption in homes, offices, and enterprises

5 hours ago

Wi-Fi is integral to modern life, with over 48 billion devices shipped since the late 1990s and an estimated 6 billion users globally.
Wi-Fi security has historically been weak, inheriting vulnerabilities from Ethernet and being susceptible to radio signal interception.
Early public Wi-Fi networks were vulnerable to attacks like ARP spoofing, leading to the implementation of cryptographic protections.
New research reveals vulnerabilities in the lowest levels of the network stack, making encryption ineffective for client isolation.
The AirSnitch attack exploits these weaknesses, affecting routers from major brands like Netgear, D-Link, Ubiquity, Cisco, and those running DD-WRT and OpenWrt.
