Real WiFi attacks, explained plainly. Then explained again for the engineers.
An attacker on your network impersonates your router to silently intercept everything you send.
A fake access point broadcasts your network’s name to lure your device onto attacker-controlled hardware.
A device you never authorized quietly joins your network and gains a foothold on your LAN.
A network named with look-alike Unicode characters renders identical to yours but isn’t.
Your DNS resolver changes unexpectedly — a sign your name lookups may be redirected.
The umbrella attack: any technique that puts an adversary between you and the internet.
A second, unauthorized server hands your device its own gateway and DNS — becoming the middleman without touching ARP.
The answers to your name lookups are quietly rewritten, sending you to attacker servers even when the resolver looks unchanged.
Forged deauthentication frames repeatedly kick your device off WiFi — the classic setup for forcing you onto an evil twin.
