Question 1

Tools can be used for casual eavesdropping

Answer 1

• Wireshark
• UCSniff

Question 2

first one

THREE (3) possible implications of a situation when an intruder performs either passive or active scanning eavesdropping on the WLAN network

Answer 2

Unauthorized Access and Data Breach:
- Intruders may gain insights into the WLAN network structure and vulnerabilities through passive or active scanning.
- Extracted information, such as usernames and passwords, can lead to unauthorized access and potential data breaches.

Question 3

second

THREE (3) possible implications of a situation when an intruder performs either passive or active scanning eavesdropping on the WLAN network,

Answer 3

Network Disruption and Performance Issues:
- Active scanning may involve sending a large number of probe requests, leading to network disruption and performance degradation.
- Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks may occur, overwhelming the WLAN network and hindering legitimate users’ access to resources.

Question 4

third

THREE (3) possible implications of a situation when an intruder performs either passive or active scanning eavesdropping on the WLAN network

Answer 4

Compromised Network Integrity and Confidentiality:
- Passive scanning allows intruders to silently observe and identify vulnerabilities, jeopardizing network integrity.
- Knowledge of the WLAN infrastructure may lead to targeted attacks, exploiting weaknesses and compromising confidentiality.
