Doesn't the issue of sniffing persist if someone else is connected to the same network? Just power up wireshark and you're good to go?

- db48x 5y agoNo, each session is encrypted separately. Your connection to the wifi router is encrypted with a different session key than someone else’s connection to the same wifi network.
- Nextgrid 5y agoCan't this trivially be worked around by sending deauthentication packets to kick the victim off the network and then capturing the 4-way handshake when they try to reconnect, which you can decrypt without bruteforce because you already know the network's PSK?
- db48x 5y agoThere is a deauthentication attack which can really annoy people, and I think WPA2 can be broken pretty quickly, but I don’t know enough of the details to answer that question.
