Sweet Dreams - Abusing Sleep Mode to Break Wi-Fi Encryption and Disrupt WPA2/3 Networks

Explore two novel attacks that exploit Wi-Fi power-save functionality in this 40-minute Black Hat conference talk. Discover how adversaries can force Access Points to buffer frames and transmit them using incorrect or no encryption, potentially leaking plaintext data. Learn about network disruption techniques based on forced frame queueing. Gain insights into vulnerabilities affecting Wi-Fi encryption and WPA2/3 networks, presented by security researchers Domien Schepers and Mathy Vanhoef.
