“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Mallers, WiFiPhisher Can Help You With That!

Filed under: Cybersecurity,Security — Patrick Durusau @ 11:25 am

Acts 20:35 records Jesus as saying, in part: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Mall shoppers may honor that admonition without their knowledge (or consent).

Automated WPA Phishing Attacks: WiFiPhisher

From the webpage:

Wifiphisher is a security tool that mounts automated victim-customized phishing attacks against WiFi clients in order to obtain credentials or infect the victims with malwares. It is primarily a social engineering attack that unlike other methods it does not include any brute forcing. It is an easy way for obtaining credentials from captive portals and third party login pages (e.g. in social networks) or WPA/WPA2 pre-shared keys.

Security advice for mallers:

  • Go hard copy, shop with cash/checks.
  • Leave all wifi devices at home, not in your car, at home.

Otherwise, you may have a very blessed holiday shopping experience.
