New attack leaks VPN traffic using rogue DHCP servers
2024-05-07 18:46

A new attack dubbed "TunnelVision" can route traffic outside a VPN's encryption tunnel, allowing attackers to snoop on unencrypted traffic while maintaining the appearance of a secure VPN connection. The attackers set up a rogue DHCP server that alters the routing tables so that all VPN traffic is sent straight to the local network or a malicious gateway, never entering the encrypted VPN tunnel.

New Attack on VPNs
2024-05-07 15:32

Researchers have devised an attack against nearly all virtual private network applications that forces them to send and receive some or all traffic outside of the encrypted tunnel designed to protect it from snooping or tampering. TunnelVision, as the researchers have named their attack, largely negates the entire purpose and selling point of VPNs, which is to encapsulate incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in an encrypted tunnel and to cloak the user's IP address.
