Q

Why is a rogue AP a security vulnerability?

It uses the weaker IEEE 80211i protocol.

It conflicts with other network firewalls and can cause them to become disabled.

It allows an attacker to bypass network security configurations.

It requires the use of vulnerable wireless probes on all mobile devices.

A

It allows an attacker to bypass network security configurations.

Q

Which of these is a vulnerability of MAC address filtering?

APs use IP addresses instead of MACs.

Q

Which of these is NOT a limitation of turning off the SSID broadcast from an AP?

Turning off the SSID broadcast may prevent users from being able to freely roam from one AP coverage area to another.

Some versions of operating systems favor a network that broadcasts an SSID over one that does not.

Users can more easily roam from one WLAN to another.

The SSID can easily be discovered, even when it is not contained in beacon frames, because it still is transmitted in other management frames sent by the AP.

A

Users can more easily roam from one WLAN to another.
