Authentication Cracking: PMKID

Excerpt From WI-FI VULNERABILITIES PART 2 webinar

Learn About Authentication Cracking: PMKID.

The use of PMKID to speed up handoffs between access points, especially in enterprise networks, is discussed by CTO Dr. Brett Walkenhorst in the brief video below. It is described how misconfiguration or vendor implementations might allow PMKID to be exploited on home networks. Attackers can get around authentication and use offline dictionary attacks to break passphrases by intercepting PMK ID during the first four-way handshake.
