Chapter 8 Securing Network Media and Devices Review

Question 1

Which of the following is the most secure protocol to use when accessing a wireless network?

A. WEP
B. WPA
C. WPA2
D. TKIP

Answer 1

C. WPA2

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 is the most secure protocol listed for connecting to wireless networks. It is more secure than WPA and WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is actually a deprecated protocol that should be avoided. The WEP algorithm is considered deficient for encrypted wireless networks. TKIP is also deprecated and is replaceable with CCMP

Question 2

Which of the following is the unauthorized access of information from a Bluetooth device?

A. Bluejacking
B. Bluesnarfing
C. Deep Blue
D. The Blues Brothers

Answer 2

B. Bluesnarfing

Bluesnarfing is the unauthorized access of information from a Bluetooth device-for example, calendar, information, phonebook contacts, and so on.
Bluejacking is the sending of unsolicited messages to Bluetooth enabled devices. The other two aren’t relevant.

Question 3

You scan your network and find a rogue access point with the same SSID used by your network. What type of attack is occurring?

A. War-driving
B. Bluesnarfing
C. Evil Twin
D. IV attack

Answer 3

C. Evil Twin

An evil twin is a rogue access pint that has the same SSID as another access point on the network. War-driving is when a person attempts to access wireless network, usually while driving in a vehicle. An IV attack is one that attempts to break the encryption of wireless protocols.

Question 4

Which of the following is an unauthorized wireless router that allows access to a secure network?

A. Rogue Access Point
B. Evil Twin
C. War-driving
D. AP isolation

Answer 4

A. Rogue Access Point

A rogue access point is an unauthorized wireless router that allows access to a secure network. An evil twin is a type of rogue AP, but it also uses the same SSID as the legitimate network. AP isolation blocks each wireless user from communicating with each other.
