Key Reinstallation Attack (KRACK)
A security flaw in WPA2 that allows attackers to intercept and manipulate Wi-Fi traffic.
Understanding:
KRACK is an attack that exploits vulnerabilities in the WPA2 Wi-Fi protocol, allowing attackers to intercept and decrypt wireless communications.
Common Applications and Use Cases:
Intercepting Encrypted Wi-Fi Traffic – Attackers eavesdrop on network communications.
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks – Injecting malicious packets into Wi-Fi traffic.
Credential Theft & Session Hijacking – Stealing authentication tokens from victims.
Best Practices and Security Considerations:
Use WPA3 Encryption – More resistant to KRACK attacks.
Apply Firmware & Software Patches – Many vendors have released fixes.
Use a VPN on Public Wi-Fi – Encrypts traffic to prevent interception.
