Abstract

Nowadays we use the 802.11i standard, which is considered safe for now. In 2010, the Hole 196 vulnerability of Group Transient Key was discovered, which allows an undetectable insider ARP poisoning attack. On this ground we have founded the possibility of malware injection into wireless communication with purpose of avoiding intrusion detection system. This paper describes creation and injection of valid 802.11i frames with malware payload. We also discuss its impact on users at home and wide corporate wireless network.
