Active Dictionary Attack on WPA3-SAE

In wireless network, we have different protocols like WEP, WPA, and WPA2. WPA3 is currently used standard protocol in WIFI to authenticate the client with access point. In the WPA3, Simultaneous Authentication of Equals protocol downgrade attack is already discovered. With the downgrade attack, we are able to do offline dictionary attack on WPA3-SAE protocol. WPA3-SAE is also known as WPA3-Personal. Dictionary attack is classified into active dictionary attack and passive dictionary attack. Passive dictionary attack is also known as offline dictionary attack. In this paper, we proposed active attack model in which software will try different password from given dictionary word list until it connect with the Access Point. In this model, computer will change their MAC address continuously so that access point won’t detect as an attack. To speed up the process, we can use multiple virtual machines that will work as a separate wireless client to the access point.
