Bypassing Wireless Client Isolation

No ratings

Presented at Chcon 2025 by

Lets break down the barriers between wireless clients and demonstrate bypassing client isolation on encrypted wireless networks. Client isolation is relied upon to prevent malicious clients from attacking others on the same network. Connected your vulnerable corporate laptop to the guest wifi? No worries - client isolation is turned on! But what if we can just ignore the AP and talk to another client directly? This talk will present research conducted to develop working tooling to bypass client isolation on both open and WPA2-encrypted wireless networks.
