Question 1

____ are devices used to access a wireless network.&#10;A) Jammers&#10;B) Access control lists&#10;C) Wireless access points&#10;D) Sniffers

Accepted Answer

Wireless access points are devices used to connect wireless communication devices together to form a wireless network. They act as a central transmitter and receiver of wireless radio signals, allowing devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi technology.

Question 2

The primary purpose of ____ is to provide for confidentiality of data on wireless networks at a level equivalent to that of wired LANs.&#10;A) Extensible Authentication Protocol&#10;B) Wired Equivalent Privacy&#10;C) Wi-Fi Protected Access 2&#10;D) Wi-Fi Protected Access

Accepted Answer

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was designed to provide a wireless network with a level of security and privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN.

Question 3

____ is a wireless hacking tool for auditing wireless networks.&#10;A) Airodump&#10;B) AirSnort&#10;C) AiroPeek&#10;D) Aircrack

Accepted Answer

Aircrack&#10;

Question 4

____ hold a list of MAC addresses that are unique to a system and enable network transmission.&#10;A) Access control lists&#10;B) Security policies&#10;C) Packets&#10;D) Rogue access points

Accepted Answer

The answer of ____ hold a list of MAC addresses...

Question 5

The term ____ is used to describe a computer network enumeration and footprinting technique (attack) that involves the spoofing of a network interface's unique MAC address.&#10;A) eavesdropping&#10;B) manipulation&#10;C) MAC flooding&#10;D) packet sniffing

Accepted Answer

MAC flooding is a technique used to compromise the security of network switches by overwhelming the switch's MAC address table, causing it to act like a hub and send packets to all connected devices, thereby allowing an attacker to eavesdrop on network traffic.

Question 6

____ are devices used to block wireless network communication within a specific area.&#10;A) Sniffers&#10;B) Jammers&#10;C) Scanners&#10;D) Adapters

Accepted Answer

Jammers are specifically designed to disrupt wireless communications by emitting signals that interfere with the normal operation of wireless networks within a certain area.

Question 7

____ occurs when an attacker intercepts packets with encrypted data and changes the destination address to forward the packets to a different destination on the Internet.&#10;A) Eavesdropping&#10;B) Social networking&#10;C) Channel hopping&#10;D) Manipulation

Accepted Answer

Manipulation involves altering communication or data, which includes changing the destination of packets to redirect them to a different location, fitting the scenario described.

Question 8

____ is a tool that allows a user to decrypt a single packet without having the WEP key.&#10;A) NetStumbler&#10;B) Chopchop&#10;C) WEPWedgie&#10;D) KisMAC

Accepted Answer

Chopchop is an attack method that can decrypt packets without needing the WEP key, making it a tool for this specific purpose.

Question 9

____ is a free stumbler application for Mac OS X that puts the computer's wireless card into monitor mode.&#10;A) KisMAC&#10;B) NetStumbler&#10;C) Aircrack-ng&#10;D) AirSnort

Accepted Answer

KisMAC is a free stumbler application for Mac OS X designed to put the computer's wireless card into monitor mode, allowing it to detect networks.

Question 10

____ operates by passively monitoring transmissions and computing the encryption key when enough packets have been gathered.&#10;A) KisMAC&#10;B) NetStumbler&#10;C) Aircrack-ng&#10;D) AirSnort

Accepted Answer

AirSnort operates by passively monitoring transmissions and computing the encryption key once enough packets have been gathered.
