∗∗∗ PMKID Attacks: Debunking the 802.11r Myth ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
This article addresses common misconceptions surrounding PMKID-based attacks while offering technical insights into their mechanics and effective countermeasures. The PMKID-based attack, first disclosed in 2018 by the Hashcat team, introduced a novel method of compromising WPA2-protected Wi-Fi networks. Unlike traditional techniques, this approach does not require capturing a full 4-way handshake, instead leveraging a design flaw in the Pairwise Master Key Identifier (PMKID).
