Abstract

There is a big risk for public Wi-Fi users being tricked into connecting to rogue access points. Rogue access point is one of the most serious threats in WLAN, since it exposes a large number of users to MITM and evil twin attack. In this paper we propose a practical method that warns users to avoid connecting to the rogue access points. Proposed method compares the gateways and the routes that a packet travels to determine whether an access point is legitimate or not. This method can easily detect Man-In-The-Middle and evil twin attack without any assistance from the WLAN operator.

Simple and effective defense against evil twin access points
WiSec '08: Proceedings of the first ACM conference on Wireless network security

Wireless networking is widespread in public places such as cafes. Unsuspecting users may become victims of attacks based on "evil twin" access points. These rogue access points are operated by criminals in an attempt to launch man-in-the-middle attacks. ...
Circumventing security toolbars and phishing filters via rogue wireless access points

One of the solutions that has been widely used by naive users to protect against phishing attacks is security toolbars or phishing filters in web browsers. The present study proposes a new attack to bypass security toolbars and phishing filters via ...
A novel Evil Twin MiTM attack through 802.11v protocol exploitation
Abstract
In recent years, especially where 802.11 networks are involved, we have seen a rise in Man in the Middle (MiTM) attacks. In this work, we propose a novel method that maliciously exploits the BSS Transition Management frames IEEE 802.11v protocol ...
