Lab Walkthrough Video:


Enhanced Open is a new WiFi Alliance security standard for open public networks. It is based on Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE). OWE provides privacy and secrecy without authentication without the need for a commonly known secret.

In this lab, OWE packet capture is provided. The objective of the lab is to analyze the PCAP using Wireshark and explore the various aspects of the OWE protocol.

PCAP source: The PCAP file is taken from Wireshark's Github repository (Link).
