KRACKing WPA2 by Forcing Nonce Reuse (34x47)

Air date: Dec 27, 2017

Speaker: Mathy Vanhoef We introduce key reinstallation attacks (KRACKs). These attacks abuse features of a protocol to reinstall an already in-use key, thereby resetting nonces and/or replay counters associated to this key. We show that our novel attack technique breaks several handshakes that are used in a WPA2-protected network.
