Do you know if they did anything to mitigate replay attacks? If not, you could potentially capture someone's first call-hope and replay it until they fail.

Presumably no one would want to, but people still like messing with one another for fun. Also, if you discover a vulnerability like that, you could plausibly claim that someone exploited it to bomb your grade, particularly if you used it against a bunch of people.



You would have to be in a position to pcap another person's attempt, which would itself be a fairly intense project on a WPA2-EAP network.

Definitely worthy of glory, but probably harder than just doing the project.
