In order to acquire credentials of a valid user on a public hot-spot network, what attacks may be conducted? Choose the single completely correct answer.
Given: In a security penetration exercise, a WLAN consultant obtains the WEP key of XYZ Corporation’s wireless network. Demonstrating the vulnerabilities of using WEP, the consultant uses a laptop running a software AP in an attempt to hijack the authorized user’s connections. XYZ’s legacy network is using 802.11n APs with 802.11b, 11g, and 11n client devices.
With this setup, how can the consultant cause all of the authorized clients to establish Layer 2 connectivity with the software access point?
Given: Many computer users connect to the Internet at airports, which often have 802.11n access points with a captive portal for authentication.
While using an airport hot-spot with this security solution, to what type of wireless attack is a user susceptible? (Choose 2)
Given: One of the security risks introduced by WPA2-Personal is an attack conducted by an authorized network user who knows the passphrase. In order to decrypt other users’ traffic, the attacker must obtain certain information from the 4-way handshake of the other users.
In addition to knowing the Pairwise Master Key (PMK) and the supplicant’s address (SA), what other three inputs must be collected with a protocol analyzer to recreate encryption keys? (Choose 3)
ABC Company uses the wireless network for highly sensitive network traffic. For that reason, they intend to protect their network in all possible ways. They are continually researching new network threats and new preventative measures. They are interested in the security benefits of 802.11w, but would like to know its limitations.
What types of wireless attacks are protected by 802.11w? (Choose 2)
Given: You manage a wireless network that services 200 wireless users. Your facility requires 20 access points, and you have installed an IEEE 802.11-compliant implementation of 802.1X/LEAP with AES-CCMP as an authentication and encryption solution.
In this configuration, the wireless network is initially susceptible to what type of attacks? (Choose 2)
An attack is under way on the network. The attack is preventing users from accessing resources required for business operations, but the attacker has not gained access to any files or data. What kind of attack is described?
Given: You are using a Wireless Aggregator utility to combine multiple packet captures. One capture exists for each of channels 1, 6 and 11. What kind of troubleshooting are you likely performing with such a tool?
Given: John Smith uses a coffee shop's Internet hot-spot (no authentication or encryption) to transfer funds between his checking and savings accounts at his bank's website. The bank’s website uses the HTTPS protocol to protect sensitive account information. While John was using the hot-spot, a hacker was able to obtain John’s bank account user ID and password and exploit this information.
What likely scenario could have allowed the hacker to obtain John’s bank account user ID and password?
As the primary security engineer for a large corporate network, you have been asked to author a new security policy for the wireless network. While most client devices support 802.1X authentication, some legacy devices still only support passphrase/PSK-based security methods.
When writing the 802.11 security policy, what password-related items should be addressed?
In what deployment scenarios would it be desirable to enable peer-to-peer traffic blocking?
What policy would help mitigate the impact of peer-to-peer attacks against wireless-enabled corporate laptop computers when the laptops are also used on public access networks such as wireless hot-spots?
Given: ABC Hospital wishes to create a strong security policy as a first step in securing their 802.11 WLAN.
Before creating the WLAN security policy, what should you ensure you possess?
As a part of a large organization’s security policy, how should a wireless security professional address the problem of rogue access points?
What elements should be addressed by a WLAN security policy? (Choose 2)
Given: ABC Company is implementing a secure 802.11 WLAN at their headquarters (HQ) building in New York and at each of the 10 small, remote branch offices around the United States. 802.1X/EAP is ABC’s preferred security solution, where possible. All access points (at the HQ building and all branch offices) connect to a single WLAN controller located at HQ. Each branch office has only a single AP and minimal IT resources.
What security best practices should be followed in this deployment scenario?
What statement accurately describes the functionality of the IEEE 802.1X standard?
The IEEE 802.11 standard defined Open System authentication as consisting of two auth frames and two assoc frames. In a WPA2-Enterprise network, what process immediately follows the 802.11 association procedure?
You have been recently hired as the wireless network administrator for an organization spread across seven locations. They have deployed more than 100 APs, but they have not been managedin either an automated or manual process for more than 18 months. Given this length of time, what is one of the first things you should evaluate from a security perspective?
Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS) provide what network security services? (Choose 2)
