Given: One of the security risks introduced by WPA2-Personal is an attack conducted by an authorized network user who knows the passphrase. In order to decrypt other users' traffic, the attacker must obtain certain information from the 4-way handshake of the other users.
In addition to knowing the Pairwise Master Key (PMK) and the supplicant's address (SA), what other three inputs must be collected with a protocol analyzer to recreate encryption keys? (Choose 3)
A. Authenticator nonce
B. Supplicant nonce
C. Authenticator address (BSSID)
D. GTKSA
E. Authentication Server nonce
Given: In XYZ's small business, two autonomous 802.11ac APs and 12 client devices are in use with WPA2-Personal.
What statement about the WLAN security of this company is true?
A. Intruders may obtain the passphrase with an offline dictionary attack and gain network access, but will be unable to decrypt the data traffic of other users.
B. A successful attack against all unicast traffic on the network would require a weak passphrase dictionary attack and the capture of the latest 4-Way Handshake for each client.
C. An unauthorized wireless client device cannot associate, but can eavesdrop on some data because WPA2-Personal does not encrypt multicast or broadcast traffic.
D. An unauthorized WLAN user with a protocol analyzer can decode data frames of authorized users if he captures the BSSID, client MAC address, and a user's 4-Way Handshake.
E. Because WPA2-Personal uses Open System authentication followed by a 4-Way Handshake, hijacking attacks are easily performed.
What wireless authentication technologies may build a TLS tunnel between the supplicant and the authentication server before passing client authentication credentials to the authentication server? (Choose 3)
A. EAP-MD5
B. EAP-TLS
C. LEAP
D. PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2
E. EAP-TTLS
What statement is true regarding the nonces (ANonce and SNonce) used in the IEEE 802.11 4 Way Handshake?
A. Both nonces are used by the Supplicant and Authenticator in the derivation of a single PTK.
B. The Supplicant uses the SNonce to derive its unique PTK and the Authenticator uses the ANonce to derive its unique PTK, but the nonces are not shared.
C. Nonces are sent in EAPoL frames to indicate to the receiver that the sending station has installed and validated the encryption keys.
D. The nonces are created by combining the MAC addresses of the Supplicant, Authenticator, and Authentication Server into a mixing algorithm.
Given: AAA is an architectural framework used to provide three separate security components in a network. Listed below are three phrases that each describe one aspect of the AAA framework. Option-1 -This AAA function is performed first and validates user identify prior to determining the network resources to which they will be granted access. Option-2 -- This function is used for monitoring and auditing purposes and includes the collection of data that identifies what a user has done while connected. Option-3 -- This function is used to designate permissions to a particular user.
What answer correctly pairs the AAA component with the descriptions provided above?
A. Option-1 Access Control Option-2 Authorization Option-3 Accounting
B. Option-1 Authentication Option-2 Accounting Option-3 Association
C. Option-1 Authorization Option-2 Access Control Option-3 Association
D. Option-1 Authentication Option-2 Accounting Option-3 Authorization
What drawbacks initially prevented the widespread acceptance and use of Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC)?
A. Sharing cached keys between controllers during inter-controller roaming created vulnerabilities that exposed the keys to attackers.
B. Because OKC is not defined by any standards or certification body, client support was delayed and sporadic early on.
C. Key exchanges during fast roams required processor-intensive cryptography, which was prohibitive for legacy devices supporting only TKIP.
D. The Wi-Fi Alliance continually delayed the creation of a client certification for OKC, even though it was defined by IEEE 802.11r.
Given: You must implement 7 APs for a branch office location in your organization. All APs will be autonomous and provide the same two SSIDs (CORP1879 and Guest).
Because each AP is managed directly through a web-based interface, what must be changed on every AP before enabling the WLANs to ensure proper staging procedures are followed?
A. Fragmentation threshold
B. Administrative password
C. Output power
D. Cell radius
Given: XYZ Company has recently installed a controller-based WLAN and is using a RADIUS server to query authentication requests to an LDAP server. XYZ maintains user-based access policies and would like to use the RADIUS server to facilitate network authorization.
What RADIUS features could be used by XYZ to assign the proper network permissions to users during authentication? (Choose 2)
A. The RADIUS server can communicate with the DHCP server to issue the appropriate IP address and VLAN assignment to users.
B. The RADIUS server can support vendor-specific attributes in the ACCESS-ACCEPT response, which can be used for user policy assignment.
C. RADIUS can reassign a client's 802.11 association to a new SSID by referencing a username- to-SSID mapping table in the LDAP user database.
D. RADIUS can send a DO-NOT-AUTHORIZE demand to the authenticator to prevent the STA from gaining access to specific files, but may only employ this in relation to Linux servers.
E. RADIUS attributes can be used to assign permission levels, such as read-only permission, to users of a particular network resource.
Joe's new laptop is experiencing difficulty connecting to ABC Company's 802.11 WLAN using 802.1X/EAP PEAPv0. The company's wireless network administrator assured Joe that his laptop was authorized in the WIPS management console for connectivity to ABC's network before it was given to him. The WIPS termination policy includes alarms for rogue stations, roque APs, DoS attacks and unauthorized roaming.
What is a likely reason that Joe cannot connect to the network?
A. Joe disabled his laptop's integrated 802.11 radio and is using a personal PC card radio with a different chipset, drivers, and client utilities.
B. Joe's integrated 802.11 radio is sending multiple Probe Request frames on each channel.
C. An ASLEAP attack has been detected on APs to which Joe's laptop was trying to associate. The WIPS responded by disabling the APs.
D. Joe configured his 802.11 radio card to transmit at 100 mW to increase his SNR. The WIPS is detecting this much output power as a DoS attack.
In an effort to optimize WLAN performance, ABC Company has upgraded their WLAN infrastructure from 802.11a/g to 802.11n. 802.11a/g clients are still supported and are used throughout ABC's facility. ABC has always been highly security conscious, but due to budget limitations, they have not yet updated their overlay WIPS solution to 802.11n or 802.11ac.
Given ABC's deployment strategy, what security risks would not be detected by the 802.11a/g WIPS?
A. Hijacking attack performed by using a rogue 802.11n AP against an 802.11a client
B. Rogue AP operating in Greenfield 40 MHz-only mode
C. 802.11a STA performing a deauthentication attack against 802.11n APs
D. 802.11n client spoofing the MAC address of an authorized 802.11n client
