CompTIA Security+ Certification SY0-601: The Total Course - Chapter 7 Exam Question Review

The video tutorial discusses various wireless attacks, starting with the evil twin attack, where an attacker creates a fake Wi-Fi hotspot to capture customer data. It then explains ARP poisoning, a method to redirect network traffic to an attacker's machine. Finally, it covers deauthentication and disassociation techniques used to disconnect clients from a network to capture authentication data and potentially crack WPA keys.

What is the primary goal of an 'evil twin' attack?

• To provide free internet access

• To capture customer wireless traffic

• To improve network speed

• To block legitimate Wi-Fi access

Which of the following best describes ARP poisoning?

• Blocking access to a network

• Sending false ARP cache updates to clients

• Increasing network bandwidth

• Creating a fake Wi-Fi network

What is the purpose of deauthentication attacks?

• To create a new network connection

• To provide faster internet access

• To disconnect a client and observe its reconnection

• To improve network security

How does an attacker benefit from observing a client's reconnection to a network?

• By gaining access to the client's device

• By blocking other users from connecting

• By capturing authentication data

• By improving the network's speed

What can be potentially cracked by capturing authentication traffic during a deauthentication attack?

• Network bandwidth

• Firewall settings

• WPA preshared keys

• Internet speed
