Does the Fingbox protect against pmkid attacks?

Is there a list I can look at that shows what Fingbox can protect against?

Thanks @Marc and @Pooh I'm not familiar with this attack but am checking internally. thanks for the information about how the attack works @Pooh

I've checked in with @Carlo_from_Fing and I can confirm that right now we do not detect that attack with Fingbox.

Hi @J_H_ and welcome to the forums. By default Fingbox will protect against Network Vulnerabilities and does Wifi I ntrusion Detection.. for the specific pmkid and a possible list of thwarting attacks that Fingbox is capable of, perhaps @Robin or @VioletChepil from Fing can answer?

Don't see how it can. pmkid is exploited during the handshake portion of the WiFi SSID connection - in other words, the attacker is currently outside the network.

In addition, the best defense against this would be a hardened router and a inline firewall in between the router and the external interface.
