Security Administration Flashcards
Involves sending unsolicited messages to Bluetooth devices when they are in range.
bluejacking
Attack that involves getting data from a Bluetooth device
Bluesnarfing
A rogue wireless access point that mimics the SSID of a legitimate access point
Evil twin
Protocol intended to make a wireless network as secure as wired network. However, it was flawed, and it is now recommended you DON’T use it
WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy
Wifi that uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which is a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet.
WPA - Wifi Protected Access
Wifi that is based on IEEE 802.11i standard. It provides Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) using the Counter Mode-Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) - Message Authentication Code (MAC) - Protocol (CCMP) that delivers data confidentiality, data origin authenticaiton, and data integrity for wireless frames.
WPA2
In this attack, the attacker sends a deauthenticaiton packet to the wireless access point, spoofing the user’s IP address. This causes the access point to think that the user is logging off and to deauthenticate the user.
Disassociation
A radio wave transmission that automatically connects when in range.
NFC - Near Field Communication
A type of attack that occurs when someone puts up an unauthorized access point.
Rogue access point
Rogue Access point that copies the SSID of a legitimate access point.
Evil Twin
Acronym for satellite communications
SATCOM
Makes the device only function if it is within certain geographical locations.
Geofencing
Process intended to be used if the phone is stolen or going to be reassigned to another user
Remote Wipe/Sanitation
Process that takes into account the context in which the authentication attempt is being made. Examines the user’s location, time of day, the computer from which they are logging in, what they are trying to do, and so on.
Context-Aware Authentication
Process to screen lock the screen with a password after a short period of inactivity.
Screen Lock
