Silentbridge is a toolkit for quickly bypassing 802.1x port security first presented at DEF CON 26. It provides the first documented means of bypassing 802.1x-2010 via its authentication process, as well as improvements to existing techniques for bypassing 802.1x-2004.

You can check out the accompanying whitepaper at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327402715_Bypassing_Port_Security_In_2018_-_Defeating_MACsec_and_8021x-2010.

This tool either builds upon, is inspired by, or directly incorporates over ten years of prior research and development from the following awesome people:

• Steve Riley - Hub-based 802.1x-2004 bypass
• Alva Duckwall - Bridge-based 802.1x-2004 bypass
• Abb - Tap-based 802.1x-2004 bypass
• Valerian Legrand - Injection-based 802.1x-2004 bypass
• Josh Wright and Brad Antoniewicz - Attacks Against Weak EAP Methods
• Dom White and Ian de Villier - More Attacks Against Weak EAP Methods
• Moxie Marlinspike and David Hulton - Attacks Against MS-CHAPv2

Additional thanks to @LargeCardinal for convincing me to actually follow through with this idea.
