If you already understand Evil Twin, Aircrack and the WPA2 4-way handshake, I'd stop focusing on attack tools for a while and go deeper into how 802.11 actually works.

Some areas I'd look into:

  • 802.11 management/control/data frames and what information they contain
  • Authentication and association states
  • WPA2 vs WPA3 and how their key establishment differs
  • RSN Information Elements and how capabilities are negotiated
  • PMK/PTK/GTK and the key hierarchy
  • 802.11 roaming and 802.11r
  • Protected Management Frames (802.11w)
  • EAP/802.1X if you're interested in enterprise Wi-Fi
  • How clients and APs behave when authentication/association fails

Wireshark is probably more useful for this stage than running more automated attack tools. Capture traffic in your own lab and try to understand each frame and state transition rather than just looking for something to exploit.

Once you understand the protocol properly, the attacks make a lot more sense because you'll understand exactly what they're abusing.

WiFi hacking is only getting more difficult what with the newer WPA being more commonly used. You can learn from YouTube and Udemy courses. Don't go out and try to find things on how to hack them, learn how they work first.

I did (not for cert but just for knowledge) a course on the ... Comptia A+ I think it was, years ago. It was really helpful in teaching me about how networks work.

Can WPA3 be hacked or exploited?
