I’ve set up a few different test networks that should seem suspicious, including one with WPAD/DHCP-PAC (proxy auto-configuration), a transparent proxy, and poisoned DNS responses. I’ve asked Coronet and Lenovo multiple times to provide more specific details about Lenovo Wi-Fi Security, but I haven’t received a reply from either companies. These statements are all made about Coronet SecureCloud product and not their SecureConnect product. “Coronet’s SecureCloud, the platform that offers end to end outside the perimeter security, confirms that it’s the first company to offer protection against KRACK.” “Network-in-the-middle attacks (evil twin, PNL honeypots, compromised captive portals.) Traffic interception, attempt to steal encryption keys and certificates.” It can also rate and keep record of popular network scores. “Coronet can detect and evade unsafe wireless connections over both Wi-Fi and Cellular networks. I’ve collected some of the most specific statements I’ve been able to find regarding Coronet’s claimed capabilities: It’s unclear exactly what capabilities Coronet SecureConnect has and which have been incorporated into Lenovo Wi-Fi Security as there’s no documentation available about either.
So what does Lenovo Wi-Fi Security protect against? Coronet hasn’t published much details about how any of their services work, but I’ve been able to dig up some hints here and there from historical product pages and news snippets. Lenovo Wi-Fi Security appears to be a branded distribution of Coronet SecureConnect a product of which there’s no specific information available on the web. It’s also hard to get any concrete details about the feature out of Lenovo or Coronet Cyber Security an Israeli company that provides the infrastructure that powers Lenovo Wi-Fi Security. However, there are very few details available about how Lenovo Wi-Fi Security works and what it does once its enabled.
Lenovo Wi-Fi Security promises that it will, somehow, “help protect you from connecting to malicious Wi-Fi networks” and “reduce the risk of having your computer and data exposed to attackers”. But what does the feature do? and should you bother enabling it? Lenovo claims the feature will help protect its customers against “malicious Wi-Fi networks”. Lenovo laptop customers with the Lenovo Vantage app for Windows 10 (preinstalled by default) are being prompted to enable a new feature called Lenovo Wi-Fi Security.
