They still need to be able to connect to one of the network no? So a home network without guest would be fine is my understanding?

It requires disassociating and reassociating to the MAC so it requires two, which would cause a denial of service one would notice while watching it. Whether they can denial of service their way to the key, while someone is not actively watching, was not addressed. The paper is about essentially getting data from clients when there are two MACs. They glossed over the one MAC situation by saying someone would notice it so it was not useful.

My concern is doing it asynchronously against things when no one is watching.

Basically it takes turn being the client and the AP both so that it can get the traffic from both. It is an evil twin attack doubled.

It might have broken EAP TLS.

If your wifi is off when you are not using it and you are not getting denial of serviced while using it and you have only one Mac for your SSID, this attack is not occuring.

Social vector? Come up with some tradesperson spiel if person invites home, ask for wifi password, you are in.

Some people also have passwords easy to break. Friend of mine literally had "hunter22" as WiFi password.

I had organized neighbors who broke WPA3 using tools, i disabled downgrade to WPA2 and they still broke it. I had one that setup an evil twin to catch my Linux login They stole the IP of one of boxes so they could get my login, and joined my network to setup the credential stealer. I caught this when my password didn't work at the ssh login. That was an apartment and they knew when I caught them.

The problem is not wardrivers. The problem is your neighbors running 24x7 cyber operations. It happens everywhere. When I moved to a house there was a persistent attacker, and finally I setup my own key and authentication infrastructure.

They broke everything.

Finally I had to go EAP TLS and rotate certificates every three months.

Evil twin attack that keeps switching sides... The first of its kind, soon to be automated into a single button if it isn't already.

Does the temporal key mechanisms prevent them from taking a key they denial of serviced their way to while I was work -- do the temporal mechanisms prevent them from sniffing all my packets when I get home. They will not use it to get data during the denial of service.... But if they can get that radius key and use it five hours later during some backups or something...

That is the question.
