CompTIA Security+ study material · question 484 of 611

An attacker sets up an access point broadcasting the same network name as the corporate wireless. Why is this effective?

  1. Clients associate automatically to a familiar name
  2. The attacker gains the corporate pre-shared key
  3. The corporate access point shuts down on conflict
  4. Clients cannot use WPA3 with duplicate names
Show the answer

Answer: A. Clients associate automatically to a familiar name

Automatic association hands the attacker the traffic, and often credentials, with no user decision involved.
