Jens ‘Atom’ Steube, the lead developer of the popular password-cracking tool Hashcat, has developed a new WiFi hacking technique that allows cracking WiFi passwords of most modern routers.
The attack technique works against WPA/WPA2 wireless network protocols with Pairwise Master Key Identifier (PMKID)-based roaming features enabled.

Steube discovered the attack while he was analyzing the WPA3 security standard.
The technique allows an attacker to recover the Pre-shared Key (PSK) login passwords and use them to hack into your Wi-Fi network and eavesdrop on the Internet traffic.

“This attack was discovered accidentally while looking for new ways to attack the new WPA3 security standard. WPA3 will be much harder to attack because of its modern key establishment protocol called “Simultaneous Authentication of Equals” (SAE).”
