In the early days of WPA2 or even just a few years ago when Windows 11 was in its initial stages, hacking Wi-Fi networks and taking control of devices like laptops and phones through Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks was relatively straightforward. As MITM attacks started to become less effective, attackers began combining ARP spoofing with other techniques like Beef-XSS injection and serving fake update payloads.
However, with modern security advancements, most popular websites now use HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) and browsers have become much smarter, making simple attacks harder to execute. Even Windows Defender has become more robust, and the latest Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities are often patched before they become publicly known.
Given these advancements, how would one go about hacking devices on their network or even their neighbor's phone just by being on the same network? Social engineering is undoubtedly a key component, but without physically accessing someone's phone or PC, how could one manipulate network traffic to install a malicious payload?
Even though we still have access to ARP spoofing, the impending arrival of WPA3 could spell the end of traditional network attacks. Let's brainstorm and invent new techniques to tackle these challenges in this chat.
