A new Wi-Fi vulnerability, known as the SSID Confusion attack, exploits a design flaw in the IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi standard, tricking users into connecting to less secure networks, enabling network eavesdropping; it affects various operating systems and Wi-Fi clients, including those based on WEP, WPA3, 802.11X/EAP, and AMPE protocols; researchers propose mitigations including updates to the 802
11 Wi-Fi standard to incorporate SSID in the handshake process for protected networks and recommend using distinct credentials for different SSIDs, following recent disclosures of authentication bypass flaws, emphasizing the importance of securing Wi-Fi networks to prevent potential attacks. https://thehackernews.com/2024/05/new-wi-fi-vulnerability-enabling.html
