The Pixie Dust hack involves an attacker who is in range of the targeted Wi-Fi network capturing the initial WPS handshake, which contains data that can then be cracked offline to obtain the WPS PIN. The attack leverages the fact that on some devices random numbers are generated using predictable or low-entropy methods. The attacker only needs seconds to capture the WPS handshake and the PIN can then be obtained offline within minutes or even seconds.

With the Wi-Fi security fundamentals covered, we are ready to get our hands dirty and explore practical applications in capturing WPA handshakes using a Raspberry Pi.

Attacks targeted at Wi-Fi networks are increasing, exploiting vulnerabilities like deauthentication attacks, leading to heightened concerns for businesses relying on wireless connectivity.
