So even if you patch all the devices in your house/company/whetever you can't be safe... Then yours aunt's un-patched android connects into your wifi and put all your network in risk. Or maybe that not-so-old security camera or SmartTV that will never be patched.
Time to move all those guys to an isolated vlan...
- cjg_ 9y agoThe WPA key is not recovered so it should only affect the unpatched client.
- danilocesar 9y agoI wasn't even thinking about the key. I was thinking about compromising a device using a targeted tcp hijack. And then using that device to compromise the rest of the network. Long shot tough.
- cjg_ 9y agoSure that might be possible, for example to serve some malware to that device. More likely is that a device you allow onto your wifi already have some malware from earlier.
