AirSnitch: Demystifying and Breaking Client Isolation in Wi-Fi Networks
Summary
A security paper analyzes Wi-Fi client isolation, revealing it is not standardized and can be bypassed. It identifies root causes (frame-key management, MAC/IP layer enforcement gaps, and identity synchronization issues) and demonstrates end-to-end attacks that can MITM traffic on modern Wi-Fi networks. The work highlights vendor inconsistency and calls for stronger standardization and mitigations.
