This isn't the case. The WPA2 handshake involves the computation of a session key for each client, so clients on the network can't read the plaintext of each other's traffic. The session key is established with a nonce generated by the access point as well as the MAC addresses of the access point and client.
- drdaeman 13y agoThanks for clarifications. What I had in mind was the following case: if you disrupt someone's connectivity (jam the channel for some time) and force them to reconnect, having listened to nonces and knowing pre-shared secret, you can calculate PMK (and GTK), or I'm wrong? (I haven't re-checked the specs, but believe 802.11 headers are unencrypted - only payload is - so MACs are not secret.)
