A. Any 802.11 protocol analyzer can see the SSID in clear text in frames other than Beacons and Probe Response frames. This negates any security benefit of trying to hide the SSID in Beacons and Probe Response frames. C. Although it does not benefit the security posture, hiding the SSID in Beacons and Probe Response frames can be helpful for preventing some users (such as guests) from attempting to connect to the corporate network.

You are the network administrator for ABC Company. Your manager has recently attended a wireless security seminar. The seminar speaker taught that a wireless network could be hidden from potential intruders if you disabled the broadcasting of the SSID in Beacons and configured the access points not to respond to Probe Request frames that have a null SSID field. Your manager suggests implementing these security practices. What response should you give to this suggestion? (Choose2) A. Any 802.11 protocol analyzer can see the SSID in clear text in frames other than Beacons and Probe Response frames. This negates any security benefit of trying to hide the SSID in Beacons and Probe Response frames. B. This security practice prevents manufacturers' client utilities from detecting the SSID. As a result, the SSID cannot be obtained by attackers, except through social engineering, guessing, or use of a WIPS. C. Although it does not benefit the security posture, hiding the SSID in Beacons and Probe Response frames can be helpful for preventing some users (such as guests) from attempting to connect to the corporate network. D. Any tenants in the same building using advanced penetration testing tools will be able to obtain the SSID by exploiting WPA EAPOL-Key exchanges. This poses an additional risk of exposing the WPA key. E. To improve security by hiding the SSID, the AP and client stations must both be configured to remove the SSID from association request and response frames. Most WLAN products support this.

E. WLAN discovery tool

You are using a tool that allows you to see signal strength for all APs in the area with a visual representation. It shows you SSIDs available and the security settings for each SSID. It allows you to filter by frequency band to see only 2.4 GHz networks or only 5 GHz networks. No additional features are available. What kind of application is described? A. Site survey utility B. Wireless Network Management System C. Protocol analyzer D. Spectrum analyzer E. WLAN discovery tool F. Wireless Intrusion Protection System

B. Evaluate the client's operating frequency band with a spectrum analyzer, looking for a high noise floor or interference sources

You have been sent as a consultant to a customer site that is experiencing problems with some 2.4 GHz clients on their 802.11a/g/n/ac network. After collecting information from the company about the problem, your initial troubleshooting step is to find a client device experiencing performance problems and observe its 802.11 frame exchanges in a protocol analyzer. The retransmission rate for that client is 65% instead of the company's baseline, which is 9%. Based on this information, what troubleshooting step should follow to isolate the problem? CBVC A. Check the frame decodes in the protocol analyzer and look for an excessive number of deauthentication frames. B. Evaluate the client's operating frequency band with a spectrum analyzer, looking for a high noise floor or interference sources. C. Utilize a laptop-based site survey and planning tool to create a predictive model of the optimal AP placement in the customer's facility. D. With a protocol analyzer, identify the client's roaming threshold settings and reassociation behavior. E. Install Wi-Fi endpoint security and reporting software on the client device to monitor and log the retransmission behavior.

A. Coverage analysis to verify appropriate coverage and roaming boundaries E. Application analysis with an active phone call on a VoWiFi handset

You were previously onsite at XYZ's facility to conduct a pre-deployment RF site survey. The WLAN has been deployed according to your recommendations and you are onsite again to perform a post-deployment validation survey. When performing this type of post-deployment RF site survey for VoWiFi, what are two steps that must be performed? (Choose2) A. Coverage analysis to verify appropriate coverage and roaming boundaries B. Spectrum analysis to locate and identify RF interference sources C. Frequency-band hopping analysis to detect improper RF channel implementations D. Protocol analysis to discover channel use on neighboring APs E. Application analysis with an active phone call on a VoWiFi handset

A. With a spectrum analyzer, identify the type, amplitude, and location of RF interference sources,if any are present. B. Evaluate the building materials at ABC's facility and confirm that the floor plan documents are consistent with the actual building.

Your consulting firm has recently been hired to complete a site survey for a company. Your engineers use predictive modeling software for surveying, but the company insists on a pre-deployment site visit. What tasks should be performed as part of the pre-deployment visit to prepare for a predictive survey? (Choose2) A. With a spectrum analyzer, identify the type, amplitude, and location of RF interference sources,if any are present. B. Evaluate the building materials at ABC's facility and confirm that the floor plan documents are consistent with the actual building. C. Test several antenna types connected to the intended APs for use in the eventual deployment. D. Collect information about the company's security requirements and the current configuration of their RADIUS and user database servers. E. Install at least one AP on each side of the exterior walls to test for co-channel interference through these walls.
