Additional context
A Karma attack is a cybersecurity exploit targeting the automatic Wi-Fi connection behaviors of client devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets. These devices often have a feature that remembers previously connected Wi-Fi networks and attempts to reconnect to them automatically for user convenience. This process involves the device broadcasting 'probe requests' to detect known networks in the vicinity.
In a Karma attack, an attacker leverages this behavior by monitoring these probe requests in public areas. The attacker then sets up a rogue Wi-Fi access point mimicking the SSID (network name) from the device's probe request. Believing this to be a trusted network, the device automatically connects to the malicious access point without user intervention.
Once connected, the attacker can execute various malicious activities, including:
Data Interception: Monitoring and capturing sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal communications transmitted over the network.
Malware Injection: Distributing malicious software to the connected device, potentially leading to further compromise.
Phishing: Redirecting the user to fraudulent websites designed to steal credentials or other personal information.
The effectiveness of a Karma attack stems from exploiting the default behaviors of wireless devices, which prioritize convenience over security by automatically seeking and connecting to known networks
