Wireless Penetration Testing

Testing Wi-Fi networks for vulnerabilities

Wireless penetration testing (WiFi PT) is the process of identifying, analyzing, and exploiting vulnerabilities in wireless networks to find ways to compromise network security.

5 minutes 5 Questions

Wireless Penetration Testing evaluates the security of wireless networks by identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities. This specialized assessment focuses on Wi-Fi networks (IEEE 802.11), Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFID, and other wireless technologies. Testers begin with reconnaissance, scanning for ava…

Question 1

What is the difference between a WEP and WPA encryption?

WPA and WEP utilize the same encryption protocol WPA utilizes a stronger encryption protocol than WEP WPA does not use an encryption protocol which makes it less secure WPA and WEP both utilize encryption protocols which makes them equally secure WEP is a more secure encryption protocol than WPA WPA is a less secure encryption protocol than WEP

Correct Answer: WPA utilizes a stronger encryption protocol than WEP

WPA is generally considered to be more secure than WEP due to its use of a stronger encryption protocol

Question 2

What is the main purpose of a wireless access point?

Identifying Wireless Devices Enabling Wired Network Connectivity Detecting Wireless Attacks Securing Wireless Traffic Providing Wireless Network Connectivity Preventing Wireless Interference

Correct Answer: Providing Wireless Network Connectivity

Wireless access points are devices that provide wireless network connectivity to devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. They allow these devices to connect to a network without the need for cables.

Question 3

What is the purpose of antenna gain in wireless networks?

It provides wired connectivity to the wireless network devices. It helps to secure the wireless network from attacks. It increases the signal strength and coverage area of the wireless network. It disrupts the operation of nearby wireless networks. It decreases the signal strength and coverage area of the wireless network. It amplifies the noise in the wireless network.

Correct Answer: It increases the signal strength and coverage area of the wireless network.

Antenna gain is a measure of the ability of an antenna to concentrate the radiated energy in a particular direction. The higher the gain, the narrower the beamwidth and the farther the signal can travel. This results in increased signal strength and coverage area of the wireless network.
