Pillar Craft Week2/3: Reality Check

The Wi-Fi protocol that is considered obsolete and can be cracked in minutes is:

• WEP

• WPA2

• WPA3

• 802.11ac

An attack that sets up a fake access point with the same SSID as the target is known as:

• Evil Twin Attack

• Man-in-the-Middle Attack

• Phishing Attack

• Denial of Service Attack

The WPA2 weakness that makes offline cracking possible is:

• The 4-way handshake can be captured and attacked offline

• Weak encryption algorithms used in WPA2

• Lack of user authentication

• Short SSID names

The main SOC perspective on WEP is:

• that it is insecure and outdated

• that it is the most secure protocol

• that it is recommended for modern networks

• that it is faster than WPA2

A major limitation of WPA3 adoption is:

• Limited device compatibility

• Increased data transfer speeds

• Enhanced user privacy

• Widespread support across all devices

Wi-Fi encryption operates on which layer of the OSI model?

• Physical layer

• Data Link layer

• Network layer

• Transport layer

Using WEP today is considered a critical vulnerability because:

• it has well-known security flaws that can be easily exploited

• it is the fastest encryption protocol available

• it is not compatible with modern devices

• it provides stronger security than WPA2

WPA2 with weak PSKs is insecure because:

• Attackers can easily guess or crack weak passwords, compromising network security.

• It uses outdated encryption algorithms that are easily broken.

• It does not require any authentication for access.

• It automatically shares passwords with nearby devices.

WPA3 is recommended over WPA2 because:

• it provides stronger security features.

• it is less compatible with modern devices.

• it is slower than WPA2.

• it is an older standard.

The SOC’s responsibility when WEP is discovered is to:

• Report and recommend replacing WEP with a more secure protocol.

• Ignore the finding as WEP is still acceptable.

• Increase the use of WEP for all wireless networks.

• Disable all wireless networks immediately.
