Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hijacking the wireless connection refers to the process of tricking a mobile device into connecting to an impostor access point (AP), which can then be used to steal sensitive information or launch further attacks. This is commonly achieved through techniques such as spoofing or creating a fake AP with a similar name to a legitimate one. Inserting network traffic and reading data are also techniques used in various types of attacks, but they do not specifically refer to the process of hijacking a wireless connection. Denial of service (DoS) attacks are unrelated to wireless connection hijacking, as they aim to disrupt or disable a network or service rather than manipulate the connection between devices.
