Hi, I realise that this might not be a question for this community; that said, this community is fairly big so I’m sure plenty of people here are already doing this.
I have been interested in hacking wireless infrastructure for a while now, but I’m struggling to find motivation in my day-to-day life to actually embark on said journey. Frankly speaking, I don’t see a point to do so in a modern homelab. If someone is using WPA3, no unsecured wireless connections like Bluetooth, and uses strong passwords, how would someone realistically hack them without a good amount of time/resources?
One avenue that I came up with, related to wireless hacking, is with IOT. I do not know much about the security of various wireless protocols like Zigbee, or if one can somehow decrypt MQTT messages (they are sent using TLS, yes?) or anything of the sort. Other than this, I’m really struggling to see a practical point in pursuing action in this field (other than the basics like upgrading to the most secure protocol and maintaining digital hygiene) unless one is interested in wireless hacking from pure interest (without any need for motivation stemming from problems in their lab).
Thanks!
Do I understand correctly that you’re asking us to give you a good reason to hack wireless signals because you yourself cannot think of a good reason?
If so, I can’t think of a good reason either, unless of course you want to be a white hat for somebody.
