Cooper via YouTube

Overview

Explore WiFi exploitation techniques and passive interception methods in this 53-minute conference talk by Solomon Sonya at Hack.lu 2016. Discover how attackers can create user profiles, determine locations, and exploit devices through WiFi vulnerabilities. Learn about engineering distributed sensor networks to capture and interpret 802.11x frames, resolving GPS locations, and visualizing data on Google Maps. Gain insights into carrying out Man-in-the-Middle attacks based on device requests and understand the enhancements needed to secure devices from exploitation. Experience the demonstration of a new framework, Theia Sensor Suite, which automates data analysis and visualization for 802.11 exploitation. Delve into topics such as the anatomy of cyber attacks, frame subtypes, and vulnerability exposure to better comprehend the risks associated with leaving WiFi enabled on smart devices.
