Questions<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the danger of an unintended Rogue Access Point?<\/td>Not managed by company security so cannot be secured<\/td><\/tr>
What are the two types of rogue access point?<\/td>Wireless Access PointWireless sharing on an OS<\/td><\/tr>
How can you detect a Rogue Access Point?<\/td>Periodic survey round the office detecting and comparing wireless devices<\/td><\/tr>
How can you prevent a Rogue Access Point?<\/td>Network Access Control<\/td><\/tr>
What is an example of Network Access Control?<\/td>801.1x<\/td><\/tr>
How can an Evil Twin be prefered over a legitimate Access Point?<\/td>Rogue access point overpowers signal of legitimate access point<\/td><\/tr>
Where are Evil Twin attacks most effective?<\/td>Open networks (e.g. coffee shop)<\/td><\/tr>
How can you secure traffic over an open network?<\/td>HTTPSVPN<\/td><\/tr>
What is the range for Bluejacking?<\/td>10 meters<\/td><\/tr>
What is an alternative use for Bluejacking?<\/td>Add action prompts to message (e.g. add to contacts)<\/td><\/tr>
What kind of attack is wireless deauthentication?<\/td>Type of DDOS<\/td><\/tr>
Why is wireless deauthentication possible?<\/td>Older methods of 802.1x sent management frames in unencrypted format<\/td><\/tr>
How do you protect against deauthenticaion attacks?<\/td>Use modern version of 802.1x (802.1w on) as the management frames are now encrypted<\/td><\/tr>
Is jamming always intentional?<\/td>No, accidental jamming can be caused by:Fluorescent lightsMicrowave<\/td><\/tr>
What are the three jamming types?<\/td>Constant
Sporadic
Reactive<\/td><\/tr>
What reduces jamming effectiveness?<\/td>Distance<\/td><\/tr>
How do you eliminate jamming?<\/td>Find and stop source
Directional antennae<\/td><\/tr>
What technology does RFID rely on?<\/td>Radar<\/td><\/tr>
Four types of RFID attacks<\/td>Data Capture
Reader spoofing (modify contents)
Signal Jamming
Decryption of data<\/td><\/tr>
What is the issue of cryptography without randomisation?<\/td>If you know the encryption key it can be decrypted<\/td><\/tr>
How do you add randomisation to a cryptograph?<\/td>Cryptographic Nonce<\/td><\/tr>

What is typically used to provide cryptographic nonce?<\/td>IVSalting<\/td><\/tr>
What is the difference between IV and Salting when providing Nonce?<\/td>IV = transmitting password hashes
Salting = Storing password hashes<\/td><\/tr>
How would you achieve a on-path attack?<\/td>ARP Poisoning<\/td><\/tr>
How does ARP Poisoning work?<\/td>Attacker sends out unsolicited broadcast to client spoofing AP details.\u00a0
Client updates DNS records to recognise attackers device as the AP
Attacker spoofs client address data to relay between itself and legitimate AP<\/td><\/tr>

What does Network Interface Controller Specific signify?<\/td>Serial number<\/td><\/tr>
How does a MAC address work in a network?<\/td>Data is sent to different devices on LAN by referencing the MAC address<\/td><\/tr>
How does a switch keep track of MAC addresses?<\/td>Builds a MAC address table<\/td><\/tr>
What is also recorded to a MAC address table<\/td>Output interface<\/td><\/tr>
What is an Output Interface<\/td>Which interface to send data out of to reach the MAC address<\/td><\/tr>
What happens when a MAC address table becomes full?<\/td>It\u2019ll default to acting like a hub and send traffic down all available interfaces<\/td><\/tr>

Sell badly spelt domain to actual owner
Redirect to competitor
PhishingMalware<\/td><\/tr>
Two examples of domain reputation<\/td>Email reputation: if reported as spam too frequently your emails will be flagged as spam
