Attack Patterns CAPEC-615 — Evil Twin Wi-Fi Attack
CAPEC-615

Evil Twin Wi-Fi Attack

TLP:CLEAR

Description

Typical severity: Low. Adversaries install Wi-Fi equipment that acts as a legitimate Wi-Fi network access point. When a device connects to this access point, Wi-Fi data traffic is intercepted, captured, and analyzed. This also allows the adversary to use "adversary-in-the-middle" (CAPEC-94) for all communications.

Mitigation

Commercial defensive technology that monitors for rogue Wi-Fi access points, adversary-in-the-middle attacks, and anomalous activity with the mobile device baseband radios.
