Exam 8: Wireless Security

ESS enables existing access points to be notified when a new access point is attached to a network, and it enables adjacent access points to share configuration information with one another.

The 802.11b standard uses _____________________________________________, which is a method for radiating a data-carrying signal over radio waves.

What is the name of a wireless topology that uses two or more access points?

What two things can an attacker do after successfully launching a man-in-the-middle attack?

What is the typical data rate of spread spectrum packet transmission?

The communication method used by 802.11g is OFDM.

With ARQ, if the station sending a packet does not receive an acknowledgment from the destination station, the sending station automatically retransmits the packet.

The purpose of a(n) terminal node controller is to convert the computer's digital signal to an analog signal that can be amplified by the transmitter/receiver and broadcast out through an antenna.

Which wireless standard should be used when there are many individual users in a small area, such as in a computer lab?

What five security techniques does Red Hat Linux 9.x use to support WNICs?

What four main elements can an attacker use to locate a wireless network?

What is the distance that most Bluetooth devices can transmit?

Which is the most expensive wireless standard to implement?

In wireless networking, a directional antenna is often used on an indoor network, in which users are mobile and need to broadcast and receive in all directions.

Which wireless network topology uses access points to provide a more extensive area of service?

What two key lengths are used in WEP encryption?

List five of the common wireless security measures that can be taken to protect a wireless network.

Priority-based access is intended for communications that are time-sensitive.

How many channels does the 802.11b standard use in the United States and Canada?

The PEAP, developed as an alternative to reduce the complexity of authentication, is identical to EAP-TTLS , but does not require the use of certificates.
