The fact that attacker can cause dissociation is separate vulnerability slash wifi design decision. Detecting active attackers doing exactly that is in fact (literal) text book example of what statistical IDS does. The question of what exactly you are going to do if you detect such an attacker is unfortunately another matter. Edit to add: this vulnerability essentially upgrades a class of well-known DoS attacks against WiFi networks to potential data exfiltration. On the other hand I feel like that intentionally exploiting this combination for data exfiltration by actively causing disassociations is not exactly practical attack, because you are going to cause significant disruption to operation of the network, ie. the target users are just going to give up and complain that the network is broken. |
