When he first connects, a screen appears that requires him to first agree to an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) before continuing. What type of AP has he encountered? Captive portal Web-based portal Rogue portal Authenticated portal

Captive portal

Which of these technologies is NOT found in a wireless router? Access point Router Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server Firewall

Access point

Which of these Bluetooth attacks involves accessing unauthorized information through a Bluetooth connection? Bluesnarfing Bluejacking Bluecreeping Bluestealing

Bluesnarfing

A wireless LAN controller (WLC) was recently installed, and now Kelsey needs to purchase several new APs to be managed by it. Which type of AP should he purchase? Controller AP Standalone AP Fat AP Any type of AP can be managed by a WLC.

Controller AP

Minh has been asked to recommend an EAP for a system that uses both passwords and tokens with TLS. Which should she recommend? EAP-TLS EAP-TTLS EAP-SSL EAP-FAST

EAP-FAST

Which of the following is NOT a wireless peripheral protection option? Update or replacing any vulnerable device Switch to a more fully tested Bluetooth model Install a network sensor to detect an attack Substitute a wired device

Install a network sensor to detect an attack

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.

It allows an attacker to bypass network security configurations.

Elijah was asked by a student intern to explain the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). What would be the best explanation of EAP? It is the transport protocol used in TCP/IP for authentication. It is a framework for transporting authentication protocols. It is a subset of WPA2. It is a technology used by IEEE 802.11 for encryption.

It is a framework for transporting authentication protocols.

Which of the following is NOT true of a wireless router? It combines multiple features into a single hardware device. It is also called a "residential WLAN gateway". It often includes features of an access point (AP). It is most commonly used in an enterprise setting.

It is most commonly used in an enterprise setting.

What is the primary weakness of wired equivalent privacy (WEP)? It functions only on specific brands of APs. Its usage creates a detectable pattern. It slows down a WLAN from 104 Mbps to 16 Mbps. Initialization vectors (IVs) are difficult for users to manage.

Its usage creates a detectable pattern.

Which of these is a vulnerability of MAC address filtering? APs use IP addresses instead of MACs. The user must enter the MAC. MAC addresses are initially exchanged unencrypted. Not all operating systems support MACs.

MAC addresses are initially exchanged unencrypted.

Which technology is predominately used for contactless payment systems? Near field communication (NFC) Wireless local area network (WLAN) Bluetooth Radio Frequency ID (RFID)

Near field communication (NFC)

Which of these is NOT a risk when a home wireless router is not securely configured? Only a small percentage of the total traffic can be encrypted. An attacker can steal data from any folder with file sharing enabled. User names, passwords, credit card numbers, and other information sent over the WLAN could be captured by an attacker. Malware can be injected into a computer connected to the WLAN.

Only a small percentage of the total traffic can be encrypted.

Which of these Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) methods is vulnerable? Push-button method PIN method Piconet method NFC method

PIN method

What is a difference between NFC and RFID? NFC is based on wireless technology while RFID is not. RFID is faster than NFC. RFID is designed for paper-based tags while NFC is not. NFC devices cannot pair as quickly as RFID devices.

RFID is designed for paper-based tags while NFC is not.

Adabella was asked by her supervisor to adjust the frequency spectrum settings on a new AP. She brought up the configuration page and looked through the different options. Which of the following frequency spectrum settings would she NOT be able to adjust? Frequency band Channel selection RFID spectrum Channel width

RFID spectrum

WPA replaces WEP with _____. WPA2 Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) cyclic redundancy check (CRC) Message Integrity Check (MIC)

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)

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.

Users can more easily roam from one WLAN to another.

Which of these is NOT a type of wireless AP probe? Wireless device probe WNIC probe Dedicated probe AP probe

WNIC probe

AES-CCMP is the encryption protocol standard used in _____ . WPA WPA2 IEEE 802.11 NFC

WPA2

evil twin
