wireless - In 802.11, is it possible to send authentication request packets from a device to the access point without sending probe requests? -
i trying send authentication requests several spoofed mac addresses ap. when ran wireshark, able see authentication responses ap. how possible no probe requests packets have been sent these spoofed mac addresses.
this looks stateless. have read, have understand, there 3 states -
- unauthenticated, unassociated
- authenticated, unassociated
- authenticated, associated
simply, answer "yes, possible send authentication request packets without sending probe requests".
as far know, probe requests necessary allow mobile devices obtain information aps @ (i.e. instead of waiting beacons).
