Executive Summary
Enterprises have long trusted Wi-Fi encryption and client isolation to secure their wireless infrastructure. However, we conducted research presented at the NDSS Symposium 2026 that reveals that these safeguards can be breached by a novel set of attack techniques that we call AirSnitch. These techniques exploit subtle security issues in protocol-infrastructure interactions to und...
The AirSnitch research represents a paradigm shift in Wi-Fi security, exposing systemic vulnerabilities that challenge long-held assumptions about encryption and client isolation. While the findings are technically rigorous, they also raise questions about the broader narrative of Wi-Fi security. The research highlights how standardized protocols, despite their widespread adoption, can harbor fundamental flaws that are difficult to patch without redesigning core infrastructure. This underscores ...
