A Bar Mitzvah attack is a type of exploit used against wireless networks, specifically targeting the WPA and WPA2 security protocols. The name "Bar Mitzvah" is a play on words, reminiscent of "KRACK" (Key Reinstallation Attack), which is another type of attack against these protocols. In a Bar Mitzvah attack, an adversary takes advantage of the four-way handshake process that is part of the WPA/WPA2 protocol.
