New AirSnitch attack techniques target the Wi-Fi infrastructure itself. We show how attackers can...

Summary

Security researchers have disclosed AirSnitch, a new class of attacks that directly target Wi-Fi infrastructure by intercepting and injecting packets while circumventing encryption protections. These techniques represent a fundamental shift in wireless security assumptions, allowing attackers to compromise communication at the infrastructure layer rather than relying on endpoint vulnerabilities. The attack challenges the security guarantees previously attributed to modern Wi-Fi protocols.
