Summary

The era of WiFi 6 and WPA3 has brought significant improvements in processing speeds and security technologies, but adoption of new protocols and hardware has remained slow, leaving many vulnerable networks still in use. Various types of WiFi attacks exist, including sniffing, injection, and cracking, which can be performed using tools like Wireshark, aircrack-ng, and bettercap. These tools allow attackers to intercept data packets, inject management frames, crack passwords, and even create rogue APs that trick clients into authenticating with real credentials. While WPA3 is not as vulnerable as WPA2, there is limited research on its security design, making it essential to transition to WPA3-protected setups, which are considered secure as long as passwords are not easily guessable.
