How Feasible are Passive Network Attacks on 5G Networks and Beyond? A Survey
This survey examines passive network attacks in 5G and future networks (B5G/6G), focusing on information extraction (like fingerprinting) and geolocation. While these attacks are theoretically possible, practical execution is severely constrained by 5G features like beamforming and encryption. Most classical attacks are no longer reproducible, confining them to well-equipped adversaries.
