The steps for executing a Wi-Jacking attack are detailed below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> An nearby attacker able to reach the victim&#8217;s WiFi network sends deauthentication requests to the victim&#8217;s router, disconnecting the user from his legitimate WiFi network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Attacker uses a <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.wifipineapple.com\/legacy\/#!karma.md\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">classic Karma attack<\/a> to trick the victim into connecting to the attacker&#8217;s malicious network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> The attacker sits back and waits for the victim to access an HTTP website.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_ZD_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Because HTTP traffic is easy to modify, the attacker replaces the intended HTTP page with a page that mimics a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Captive_portal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">captive portal<\/a> page, specific to home or corporate routers.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-fixes-chrome-issue-that-allowed-theft-of-wifi-logins\/\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"router-restarting-fluff-page.png\" data-original=\" https:\/\/zdnet1.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2018\/09\/05\/2d9c52ed-111f-408f-bb12-00b379aeba4f\/3dc28be99f43d72d5c392737e78ce108\/router-restarting-fluff-page.png\"\/><\/span><noscript><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zdnet1.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2018\/09\/05\/2d9c52ed-111f-408f-bb12-00b379aeba4f\/3dc28be99f43d72d5c392737e78ce108\/router-restarting-fluff-page.png\" class=\"\" alt=\"router-restarting-fluff-page.png\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript> <span class=\"credit\">Elliott Thompson \/ SureCloud<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> This captive page, or any other page mimicking a router-specific portal, will contain hidden login fields. Because the user is connected to the attacker&#8217;s network, the attacker can set the URL of this captive portal page to the exact URL of the user&#8217;s legitimate router. As a result, if users have allowed their Chrome instances to auto-fill credentials and if they saved router backend panel credentials inside Chrome, they&#8217;ll be auto-completed in the hidden fields of the attacker&#8217;s captive portal page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Attacker stops Karma technique and lets the user connect back to his original WiFi network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> If the user clicks anywhere on the page, or after a certain time, the malicious captive portal page, still loaded in the user&#8217;s browser, will submit the credentials located in the hidden login fields to the actual router backend panel. This authenticates the victim and allows the attacker to grab the WPA\/WPA2 PSK (pre-shared key) from the user&#8217;s router WiFi settings.<\/p>\n<p>With the WPA\/WPA2 PSK, the attacker can then log into a victim&#8217;s home or private corporate network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-investigating-issue-with-blurry-fonts-on-new-chrome-69\/\" target=\"_blank\">Google investigating issue with blurry fonts on new Chrome 69<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thompson was very candid in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surecloud.com\/sc-blog\/wifi-hijacking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research published yesterday<\/a> and admitted that various pre-requisites must be met for a Wi-Jacking attack to work successfully.<\/p>\n<p>But he also points out that many pre-requisites aren&#8217;t that hard to achieve. For example, the router backend panel must be loaded via HTTP &#8211;most routers don&#8217;t support HTTPS connections, and loading the admin panel via HTTP is almost the standard method of serving router configuration panels for many router brands.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, victims must have previously connected to any open WiFi network and allowed automatic reconnection &#8211;which is also not an issue, as users often connect to open WiFi networks and leave automatic reconnection enabled for their WiFi settings.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, the user should have previously configured Chrome to remember and auto-fill passwords, and have the router admin interface credentials remembered in the browser.<\/p>\n<p>This is probably the most tricky pre-requisite, but nobody said the Wi-Jacking attack was universal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-open-sources-internal-tool-for-finding-font-related-security-bugs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Google open-sources internal tool for finding font-related security bugs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thompson says he reported the issue to Google, Microsoft, and ASUS in March, this year. Google addressed his report by not allowing Chrome to auto-fill passwords on HTTP fields.<\/p>\n<p>The researcher also recommended that Microsoft use a separate browser for loading WiFi\/router capture portal pages, similar to how Apple handles capture portals in macOS. Microsoft responded that it doesn&#8217;t plan on acting on this suggestion.<\/p>\n<p>ASUS, who Thompson contacted because he used an ASUS router in his proof-of-concept, never provided a final answer to the issue after months of discussions.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Chrome, Opera is also susceptible to Wi-Jacking attacks, but Opera usually takes one extra month to incorporate patches and modifications made to the Chromium codebase, the open-source project on which Chrome and Opera are both based on.<\/p>\n<p>Other browsers like Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer, and Safari are not vulnerable to this particular attack because they don&#8217;t auto-fill credentials in login fields unless the user clicks or focuses on the form field itself, hence an automated Wi-Jacking attack would never work as seamlessly as it does in Chrome and Opera.<\/p>\n<p>Updating to Chrome 69.0.3497.81 or later should keep users safe from Wi-Jacking attacks. Thompson also released a video explainer for the Wi-Jacking technique, which we recommend on watching.<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-fixes-chrome-issue-that-allowed-theft-of-wifi-logins\/#ftag=RSSbaffb68\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Wi-Jacking attack can recover WPA2 pre-shared keys by abusing a Google Chrome design issue.
