Status: work in progress.
This multi-part series provides an evidence-based, technical deep dive into 802.11 protocol security and exploitation from a Red Teaming perspective. Following a strict methodology—combining protocol theory, execution, OPSEC considerations and forensic PCAP analysis—I systematically deconstruct the wireless attack surface.
The series covers hardware design flaws (WPS PRNG failures), active WPA2 state machine exploitation, clientless OPSEC attacks (PMKID/802.11r), and the translation of Layer 2 wireless compromises into complete Layer 7 infrastructure kill chains. We conclude with a mathematical analysis of WPA3 (SAE/Dragonfly) and emerging offensive vectors. Designed for security professionals, this guide bridges the gap between theoretical cryptography and real-world network compromise.
1. Executive Summary Although WPA3 effectively mitigates the offline dictionary attacks that troubled its predecessor, modern enterprise and home network infrastructures still rely on backward compati
1. Executive Summary While the WPA2-Personal protocol ensures that the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is never transmitted in plaintext, its architecture harbors a critical vulnerability: standard 802.11 Manage
1. Executive Summary The PMKID attack represents a significant paradigm shift in 802.11 wireless network exploitation. This vector exploits a historical implementation flaw in the IEEE 802.11i Robust
1. Executive Summary It must be stated upfront that in contemporary red teaming engagements, Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is largely considered a dead attack vector. The Wi-Fi Alliance has deprecated P
