Attacks against wireless networks have been a popular topic for quite some time. Although this attack can take a bit of setup, imagine its success against a number of similarly configured clients located in a high-traffic or public area. This approach to attacking wireless clients is often popular because it’s easier than a brute force attack against a well-secured wireless infrastructure.

Now that you’ve seen how easy it is to conduct this sort of attack, you’ll probably think twice about using public wireless networks. Are you sure that the coffee shop is offering “free public Wi-Fi”? Or perhaps someone is running Karmetasploit?
