A technician notices that an application is not responding to commands and that the computer seems to respond slowly when applications are opened. What is the best administrative tool to force the release of system resources from the unresponsive application?

What is required in order to connect a Wi-Fi enabled laptop to a WPA secured wireless network?

• • a MAC address

• • a username and password

Why would an attacker want to spoof a MAC address?

• • so that the attacker can launch another type of attack in order to gain access to the switch

• • so that the attacker can capture traffic from multiple VLANs rather than from just the VLAN that is assigned to the port to which the attacker device is attached

• • so that a switch on the LAN will start forwarding frames to the attacker instead of to the legitimate host

• • so that a switch on the LAN will start forwarding all frames toward the device that is under control of the attacker (that can then capture the LAN traffic)
