SILICA 7.46 Release Notes

Updated Transparent Proxy

• SILICA uses a transparent proxy as part of the Fake Access Point With SSL Spoofing And Stripping Attack. The transparent proxy was updated in this release, supporting more concurrent connections and reducing memory usage, among other improvements. Credential parsing was also updated.

Better handling of network names encodings

• The Service Set Identifiers (SSID) are usually strings of UTF-8 encoded characters, but not necessarily. SILICA now correctly handles network names that use non-English characters or even invalid encoded characters.

Malicious Access Point Detection improvement

• The malicious AP detection feature is now more sensitive; it more accurately detects and informs when there is a malicious access point running a "Known AP" attack.

Also, an issue was fixed on the hidden SSID detection feature, resulting in better performance and more accurate scanning results.
