Capturing WiFi7, understand WiFi again with catching up an Extremely High Throughput mode of IEEE802.11be
11-06, 13:00–14:00 (Europe/Vienna), Ballroom A+B+C

Capturing BE traffic and analyze EHT frame with quick review of IEEE802.11 WLAN communications with security standards.


WiFi has been upgraded in the next phase, 7th generation bumped up from 6/6E, enabling over 30Gbps wireless communication using 320MHz, 16 streams and 4096 QAM modulation. In this session, we try Intel BE200 adapter to capture actual live traffic of WiFI7 and dissect extended tags of IEEE802.11be using Wireshark.
And this session includes the basic dissection of WLAN and WiFi security standards, too.
We dissect the management, control and data frames of WiFi and learn mechanisms and standards of IEEE802.11 protocols. It also includes security dissection based on WPA2/WPA3.
