This can be used, e.g., with mac80211-based Linux drivers with
nl80211. This allows over-the-air FT protocol to be used (IEEE
802.11r).
Since the nl80211 interface needed for this is very recent (added
today into wireless-testing.git), driver_nl80211.c has backwards
compatibility code that uses WEXT for association if the kernel does
not support the new commands. This compatibility code can be
disabled by defining NO_WEXT_COMPAT. That code will also be removed
at some point to clean up driver_nl80211.c.
This is done with wired interfaces to fix IEEE 802.1X authentication
when the authenticator uses the group address (which should be happening
with wired Ethernet authentication).
This allows wpa_supplicant to complete wired authentication successfully
on Vista with a NDIS 6 driver, but the change is likely needed for
Windows XP, too.
For example, -Dnl80211,wext could be used to automatically select
between nl80211 and wext. The first driver wrapper that is able to
initialize the interface will be used.
We can now handle up to 65535 byte result buffer which is the maximum
due to WEXT using 16-bit length field. Previously, this was limited to
32768 bytes in practice even through we tried with 65536 and 131072
buffers which we just truncated into 0 in the 16-bit variable.
This more or less doubles the number of BSSes we can received from scan
results.
The default interval is now 5 seconds (used to be 1 second for
interactive mode and 2 seconds for wpa_cli -a). The interval can be
changed with -G<seconds> command line option.
Windows Server 2008 NPS gets very confused if the TLS Message Length is
not included in the Phase 1 messages even if fragmentation is not used.
If the TLS Message Length field is not included in ClientHello message,
NPS seems to decide to use the ClientHello data (excluding first six
octets, i.e., EAP header, type, Flags) as the OuterTLVs data in
Cryptobinding Compound_MAC calculation (per PEAPv2; not MS-PEAP)..
Lets add the TLS Message Length to PEAPv0 Phase 1 messages to get rid of
this issue. This seems to fix Cryptobinding issues with NPS and PEAPv0
is now using optional Cryptobinding by default (again) since there are
no known interop issues with it anymore.
driver_test can now be used either over UNIX domain socket or UDP
socket. This makes it possible to run the test over network and makes it
easier to port driver_test to Windows.
hostapd configuration: test_socket=UDP:<listen port>
wpa_supplicant configuration: driver_param=test_udp=<dst IP addr>:<port>
It looks like some Windows NDIS drivers (e.g., Intel) do not clear the
PMKID list even when wpa_supplicant explicitly sets the list to be
empty. In such a case, the driver ends up trying to use PMKSA caching
with the AP and wpa_supplicant may not have the PMK that would be needed
to complete 4-way handshake.
RSN processing already had some code for aborting PMKSA caching by
sending EAPOL-Start. However, this was not triggered in this particular
case where the driver generates the RSN IE. With this change, this case
is included, too, and the failed PMKSA caching attempt is cleanly
canceled and wpa_supplicant can fall back to full EAP authentication.
Find attached the patch that creates a new driver: roboswitch. This
driver adds support for wired authentication with a Broadcom
RoboSwitch chipset. For example it is now possible to do wired
authentication with a Linksys WRT54G router running OpenWRT.
LIMITATIONS
- At the moment the driver does not support the BCM5365 series (though
adding it requires just some register tweaks).
- The driver is also limited to Linux (this is a far more technical
restriction).
- In order to compile against a 2.4 series you need to edit
include/linux/mii.h and change all references to "u16" in "__u16". I
have submitted a patch upstream that will fix this in a future version
of the 2.4 kernel. [These modifications (and more) are now included in
the kernel source and can be found in versions 2.4.37-rc2 and up.]
USAGE
- Usage is similar to the wired driver. Choose the interfacename of
the vlan that contains your desired authentication port on the router.
This name must be formatted as <interface>.<vlan>, which is the
default on all systems I know.
Remove the old code from driver_wext.c since the private ioctl interface is
never going to be used with mac80211. driver_nl80211.c has an
implementation than can be used with mac80211 (with two external patches to
enable userspace MLME configuration are still required, though).
Updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
needed with that version anymore).
delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time between 0 and
60 seconds if multiple Michael MIC failures are detected with the same PTK
(i.e., the Authenticator does not rekey PTK on first failure report). This
is disabled by default and can be enabled with a build option
CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config.
This may help in making a chopchop attack take much longer time by forcing
the attacker to wait 60 seconds before knowing whether a modified frame
resulted in a MIC failure.
Added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against TKIP
deficiencies. This can be set either by the Authenticator (to initiate
periodic 4-way handshake to rekey PTK) or by the Supplicant (to request
Authenticator to rekey PTK).
With both wpa_ptk_rekey and wpa_group_rekey (in hostapd) set to 600, TKIP
keys will not be used for more than 10 minutes which may make some attacks
against TKIP more difficult to implement.
IEEE 802.11w/D6.0 defines new AKMPs to indicate SHA256-based algorithms for
key derivation (and AES-CMAC for EAPOL-Key MIC). Add support for using new
AKMPs and clean up AKMP processing with helper functions in defs.h.
This updates management frame protection to use the assocition ping process
from the latest draft (D6.0) to protect against unauthenticated
authenticate or (re)associate frames dropping association.
wpa_sm_set_config() can be called even if the network block does not
change. However, the previous version ended up calling
pmksa_cache_notify_reconfig() every time and this cleared the network
context from PMKSA cache entries. This prevented OKC from ever being used.
Do not call pmksa_cache_notify_reconfig() if the network context remains
unchanged to allow OKC to be used.
This avoids getting stuck in state where wpa_supplicant has canceled scans,
but the driver is actually in disassociated state. The previously used code
that controlled scan timeout from WPA module is not really needed anymore
(and has not been needed for past four years since authentication timeout
was separated from scan request timeout), so this can simply be removed to
resolved the race condition. As an extra bonus, this simplifies the
interface to WPA module.
[Bug 261]
CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y in .config can now be used to enable all
optimized routines at a cost of about 4 kB. This is small enough increase
in size to justify simplified configuration.
The internal TLS implementation can now use both PKCS #1 RSA private key
and PKCS #8 encapsulated RSA private key. PKCS #8 encrypted private key is
not yet supported.
The TLS client changes in ssl3_get_server_hello() were based on the
pre-RFC 5077 version of OpenSSL and they hardcoded s->hit to 1 in case
PAC-Opaque was used. This prevented fallback to full TLS handshake in case
the server rejected PAC-Opaque in ClientHello. The fixed version simplifies
ssl3_get_server_hello() and uses the new RFC 5077 functionality in OpenSSL
(ssl3_check_finished) to allow the state machine handle start of
abbreviated handshake based on the used ticket.
It looks like Microsoft implementation does not match with their
specification as far as PRF+ label usage is concerned.. IPMK|CMK is derived
without null termination on the label, but the label for CSK derivation
must be null terminated.
This allows cryptobinding to be used with PEAPv0 in a way that
interoperates with Windows XP SP3 (RC2) and as such, this functionality is
now enabled as an optional addition to PEAPv0.
This adds support for PS3 wireless to wpa_supplicant.
Although PS3 wireless driver is designed to conform the WEXT standard
as much as possible, unfortunately the wext driver wrapper of
wpa_supplicant can not support PS3 wireless fully because:
- PS3 wireless driver uses private WEXT ioctls for accepting PSK of
WPA-Personal from the userland.
WEXT does not specify the way to do it.
- The association and 4-way handshake are done by PS3 virtual
wireless device. The guest OSes can not interfere it.
- No EAPOL frames are allowed to go outside of the
hypervisor/firmware nor come from. They are eaten by the firmware.
Thus I needed to make a new driver wrapper for PS3 wireless.
This patch can be applied against the latest 0.6.x tree.

Number of TLVs were processed in groups and these cases were now separated
into more flexible processing of one TLV at the time. wpabuf_concat()
function was added to make it easier to concatenate TLVs. EAP Sequences are
now supported in both server and peer code, but the server side is not
enabled by default.
