Question 1

Which wireless security protocol is considered the most secure for modern enterprise networks?

Accepted Answer

WPA3-Enterprise

Answer

WPA3-Enterprise provides the strongest wireless security using 192-bit cryptographic strength and SAE for authentication, replacing vulnerable WPA2 mechanisms.

Question 2

What type of wireless attack involves setting up an unauthorized access point that mimics a legitimate one to intercept user traffic?

Accepted Answer

Evil twin attack

Answer

An evil twin attack creates a rogue access point with the same SSID as a legitimate network, tricking users into connecting so the attacker can intercept traffic.

Question 3

WPA3 uses which key exchange mechanism to provide forward secrecy and resistance to offline dictionary attacks?

Accepted Answer

Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)

Answer

WPA3 uses SAE (also known as the Dragonfly handshake) for key exchange, providing forward secrecy so captured traffic cannot be decrypted later.

Question 4

What is the primary function of a Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS)?

Accepted Answer

Detect and block unauthorized wireless devices and attacks

Answer

A WIPS monitors the radio frequency spectrum to detect rogue access points, unauthorized clients, and active attacks, then automatically responds to block them.

Question 5

Which authentication framework requires a RADIUS server and provides centralized user authentication in enterprise wireless deployments?

Accepted Answer

802.1X

Answer

802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control that uses EAP and a backend RADIUS server for centralized, per-user authentication.
