FragAttacks, or fragmentation and aggregation attacks, are a group of Wi-Fi vulnerabilities discovered by security research Mathy Vanhoef.[1] Since the vulnerabilities are design flaws in the Wi-Fi standard, any device released after 1997 could be vulnerable.[1] The attack can be executed without special privileges.[2] The attack was detailed on August 5, 2021 at Black Hat Briefings USA and at later at the USENIX 30th Security Symposium, where recordings are shared publicly.[3][4] The attack does not leave any trace in the network logs.[5]
