VerifiedWireless Penetration Testing Methodology

Frank is conducting a wireless penetration test for an organization. Using several wireless attack techniques, he successfully cracked the WPA-PSK key. He is attempting to connect to the wireless network with the WPA-PSK key, but cannot join the WLAN because the target uses MAC filtering.

What is the easiest way for Frank to bypass this and connect to the WLAN?

Explanation

MAC filtering admits only approved device MAC addresses. An authorized client’s MAC address can be observed from WLAN traffic and spoofed on the testing adapter, allowing the adapter to appear as an approved device when it authenticates using the known WPA-PSK. MAC-address-restricted Wi-Fi environments enforce access based on approved device MAC addresses.
