I don't see how this device is in a more privileged position than the router your system is connected to. The way I see it, any vulnerabilities used in this attack are MITM-vulnerabilities plain and simple and need to be fixed regardless of this specific attack. Am I missing something?
- Tepix 10y agoIf the router you are connected to is a WiFi router, then this device is indeed in a more priviledged position because as a LAN connection it will have precedence over WiFi.
- lolc 10y agoWell yes, but that's not the kind of privilege I had in mind. The router could have used the very same attacks with lower risk of detection. So unless you can trust the network you're connected to (which is rare) this attack is not any more dangerous than any other MITM-attack. I like the attack for how it combines different methods. I just had a hard time understanding the risk from that article.
