if you update your mikrotik on 7.22 today, do not forget to enable the new RA Guard in the bridge settings.

It help to block some ipv6 router advertising attack.

change log don't say if there is fix to airsnitch or not tough

Исследователи из Калифорнийского университета в Риверсайде разработали новый класс атак на беспроводные сети - AirSnitch.

Атаки дают возможность обойти механизмы изоляции клиентов в Wi-Fi сети, не позволяющие клиентам напрямую обращаться друг к другу. При наихудшем сценарии атаки позволяют злоумышленнику перенаправить через себя трафик жертвы (MITM) для анализа или модификации незашифрованных запросов, а также подменить обращения к сайтам через отравление DNS-кэша.

Проблемы, позволяющие совершить атаку:
-- Обход изоляции между клиентами из-за некорректного управления ключами, используемыми для защиты широковещательных кадров.
-- Изоляция обычно применяется на уровне MAC или на уровне IP, но не на обоих уровнях одновременно.
-- Ненадёжная синхронизация идентификаторов клиентов на уровне всего сетевого стека -> перехват входящего и исходящего трафика других клиентов.

So … #AirSnitch is just hot air?
Actionable thing for anyone: Don't bridge trusted/untrusted networks (if you don't know whether your router properly separates both networks, run).

And going forward, don't assume public (password protected) hotspots are safe for unencrypted connections - which they never were, because the entire internet is not safe for unencrypted connections.

"New research shows that behaviors that occur at the very lowest levels of the network stack make encryption—in any form, not just those that have been broken in the past—incapable of providing client isolation, an encryption-enabled protection promised by all router makers, that is intended to block direct communication between two or more connected clients.

The isolation can effectively be nullified through AirSnitch, the name the researchers gave to a series of attacks that capitalize on the newly discovered weaknesses. Various forms of AirSnitch work across a broad range of routers, including those from Netgear, D-Link, Ubiquiti, Cisco, and those running DD-WRT and OpenWrt.

AirSnitch “breaks worldwide Wi-Fi encryption, and it might have the potential to enable advanced cyberattacks,” Xin’an Zhou, the lead author of the research paper, said in an interview. “Advanced attacks can build on our primitives to [perform] cookie stealing, DNS and cache poisoning. Our research physically wiretaps the wire altogether so these sophisticated attacks will work. It’s really a threat to worldwide network security.” Zhou presented his research on Wednesday at the 2026 Network and Distributed System Security Symposium.

Paper co-author Mathy Vanhoef, said a few hours after this post went live that the attack may be better described as a Wi-Fi encryption “bypass,” “in the sense that we can bypass client isolation. We don’t break Wi-Fi authentication or encryption. Crypto is often bypassed instead of broken. And we bypass it ;)” People who don’t rely on client or network isolation, he added, are safe."
