Attacking and Defending 802.11ac Networks

Instructor - Vivek Ramachandran & Thomas d'Otreppe

Pre-Requisites - Working knowledge of Wi-Fi and Linux

Abstract - 802.11ac networks pose a significant challenge to existing Wi-Fi hacking tools and techniques. Unlike the previous generation of 802.11 networks, AC brings about significant complexities with features such as multi-user MIMO, advanced beamforming, up to 8 spatial streams, extremely high speeds (Gbps) and wide channel bandwidths 80-160. This workshop will help you "upgrade" your existing tools and techniques for both attacking and defending these networks. After this workshop, you will be able to create your own 802.11ac monitoring and attack platform.

Required materials - We will be providing files which can downloaded to follow the class. Wireshark needs to be installed.
